The Graduate Studies Committee

The functions of the Graduate Studies Committee are as follows:

1. Oversee the graduate curriculum and make timely recommendations to the faculty on its findings.
2. Execute the departmental graduate policy on admissions and financial support.
3. Make teaching assistantship assignments.
4. Monitor the progress of all graduate students in the Department. This monitoring will be routinely performed using annual progress reports from students and their advisors. The advisor of a student whose progress is questionable will be invited to meet with the Committee for the relevant discussions. Appropriate actions according to accepted departmental guidelines will follow the student reviewing process.
5. Recruit new graduate students.
