Graduate Affairs Committee
The Graduate Affairs Committee, on a continuous basis, reviews and appraises graduate educational policies, programs, and procedures. This committee recommends establishment, continuation, modification, and termination of graduate courses and degree programs; and makes policy recommendations regarding the granting of graduate scholarships, assistantships, and fellowships. The committee consults with the Faculty Senate, Executive Committee and other related committees on those policies and procedures which jointly affect graduate and undergraduate education.
Committee members are Graduate Officers in their departments or graduate programs. The term of membership on this committee is determined by the assignment as Graduate Officer.
