ER&M All Forms

Undergraduate Students Forms

Major Worksheet 

​Complete the Major Worksheet shortly after declaring ER&M as your major and before meeting with the DUS to discuss  your plan. Update it regularly, writing in course numbers that match your registration course numbers (cross-listed courses) and the Yale Degree Audit.

Submit updated worksheets whenever plans change, with final updates required before the end of the spring semester in junior year and by the end of the semester preceding your final semester in senior year.

Independent Study Request 

​When submitting an independent study request, students should schedule a meeting with the DUS to discuss their plans. Following this meeting, students must register for the appropriate course: ER&M 4070, ER&M 4071, or ER&M 4072.

Senior Requirement Option for Juniors

Students planning to fulfill the senior requirement with either a year-long senior essay (requiring pre-registration for ER&M 4091 and instructor permission) or an alternative project (involving two upper-level seminars, one with a writing component) must submit the Senior Requirement Option for Juniors form before the end of the spring semester of their junior year. They have the option to revise the form by the first week of their fall semester.

Senor Essay Adviser Form 

​Students must confirm a thesis advisor early in the fall semester. It is recommended to secure an advisor as soon as possible, as ER&M faculty are in high demand. You may begin laying the groundwork for an advising relationship in late spring or over the summer. Be sure to discuss your plans with your advisor before submitting the form.

Senior essay/project authorization

The authorization form is required to allow us to share your senior essay. You will have the option to share it with only our students, the broader Yale community, or not share it at all. This authorization can be revoked at any time by submitting a new form (preferred) or by sending an email to our main office.

Senior Essay/Project Submission

In ER&M, seniors completing a year-long senior thesis may choose to do a traditional senior essay or a creative project. The creative project includes the final product (e.g. a film, artwork, creative writing, etc.) accompanied by a creative statement. Students can submit their work here.

Graduate Certificate Forms

Student Application to Admission
The application for the student certificate opens every fall in October, with a submission deadline in mid-November. You can find the application link here and more about the application process here.
Graduate Events Funding Request

Students can apply for funding throughout the academic year, either individually or as a group, depending on their needs. Funding is available in the following categories: social events, with an annual maximum of $350 per cohort; supplies, with a one-time stipend of $150 per student; and colloquium support, with an annual maximum of $2,000 per cohort.

Graduate Info Session
Students will be notified about our next information session in early fall, and the link to join will be active at that time.
TF/PTAI application
The Teachng Fellow application link will  be available here when ER&M has open TF/PTAI positions.

Faculty Forms

Courses Submission 

Courses Planning Form must be submitted twice per year: the deadline for fall courses is in March, and the deadline for spring courses is in October. It is used to help the registrar upload course information to the Yale Course Search site.

Please note that this form does not replace the Yale Course Proposal form, which is required for new courses or for courses undergoing changes to any two of the three key categories: title, instructor, or format. Please note the Course Planning Form is still required for all courses, whether new or continuing.

For new courses, please discuss your plans with the DUS before completing the relevant form to inform us of your plans, and contact ER&M registrar to obtain the ER&M number for your new course.

Sponsorship/Event Request
You can fill out the Sponsorship Event Form at any time when you’re planning an event, requesting funding, or needing administrative help—such as booking classrooms or organizing event-related activities.
 
Once the form is approved by the Chair, the Administrator will move forward with your request. They will confirm all event details with you, including room reservations, media support, catering, publicity, and other logistics. If you’re inviting a guest who will receive an honorarium, the Administrator will also contact them directly to handle the necessary paperwork. Important: Administrative support is only available to ER&M-affiliated faculty.
 
If you’re only requesting publicity for an event that already has advertising materials, you don’t need to complete the form. Just email your materials to us.
by Friday to be included in the following Tuesday’s newsletter.
However, if you need help creating advertising materials (digital or print), you must complete the form.

Request Forms: When to Use Which

ER&M GA Funded Student Assistant:
Use this form when requesting payment for a student whose funding comes from the ER&M general account. This typically applies to program-funded student assistants supporting our office.
 
Non-GA (Research/Grant) Funded Student Assistant:
Use this form when the student is being paid through other funding sources, such as a faculty research grant, external fellowship, or discretionary funds, not the program’s GA COA allocation.
 
Using the correct form ensures proper routing and faster processing. If you’re unsure which form to use, please contact us.
Graduate Course Number Request 

​Whether you are planning a graduate course originating in our department or wish to crosslist your course, you can complete the form. Please note that a graduate course number can be added to an undergraduate course, but this will require the submission of a Course Proposal form.
