This google site is meant to accompany the CIS program's official website, at cogsci.ucmerced.edu. Visit the official website to learn more about current students and faculty and for guidance regarding program requirements. We've tried to include up to date information and forms (i.e. for advancement to candidacy) on this CISGradStudentGroup google site (e.g. in our "What is an IR?!" section), but always keep in contact with your committee, UCM Graduate Division, or ask your fellow grad students if you need any help navigating the paperwork side of the PhD process.
