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 School graduate policy on admissions and financial support.
  3. Make teaching assistantship assignments.
  4. Monitor the progress of all graduate students in the School. This monitoring relies on annual progress reports from students and their advisors (supervisory committee chairs). The advisor of a student whose progress is questionable will be invited to discuss the student's situation with the Committee. Appropriate actions according to accepted School guidelines result from the student reviewing process.
During 2002-2003, the Committee consists of Professors Ross Whitaker (Director), Al Davis, and Kris Sikorski.
