SLATE ACCESS (for viewing Applications of Prospective PhD Students)
CECS faculty are becoming increasingly interdisciplinary in terms of their research and teaching activities. Accordingly, they are interested in directing the research activities of doctoral students in academic departments in addition to ones in their own department. The University of Central Florida uses SLATE (a third-party – Technolutions) to manage graduate applications and recruiting. To gain view-only access to PhD applications in SLATE, CECS faculty must follow these steps sequentially:
- Determine which CECS-based PhD programs have applications that are to be accessed
- Talk to the graduate program director(s) of the departments that house the PhD programs of interest. Gain verbal permission from the graduate program director(s)
- Computer Science – Dr. Wei Zhang
- Civil or Environmental Engineering – Dr. Andrew Randall
- Electrical or Computer Engineering – Dr. Mingjie Lin
- Industrial Engineering – Dr. Mansooreh Mollaghasemi
- Materials Science & Engineering – Dr. Jiyu Fang
- Aerospace, Biomedical, or Mechanical Engineering – Dr. Jihua “Jan” Gou
- Get FERPA trained using the following link: https://registrar.ucf.edu/ferpa/
- Get SLATE trained via the following link: https://applynow.graduate.ucf.edu/portal/admissions_training; SLATE training is offered every two or three weeks
- Formally request SLATE access at the following link: https://applynow.graduate.ucf.edu/register/SlateAccessRequest
Afterwards, SLATE access requests will be formally approved by the graduate program director(s) and the College of Graduate Studies. For more information, please reach out to Dr. Brandy Pieper Brandy.Pieper@ucf.edu.
