Graduate Academic Policies and Regulations
Refer to the General and Graduate sections of the Academic Policies and Regulations for graduate policies and regulations.
Advising
At the graduate level, students are advised by faculty within their program of study. Students should contact the departmental office to identify the name of their advisor and arrange for an initial advising session. A complete list of graduate degree programs and academic departments is listed by college in the Office of Graduate Studies and Grants Administration section of this catalog.
Academic Advising for graduate students is highly individualized for each student as he/she works with a faculty advisor to select an emphasis within a degree program, to develop an educational plan, to register for and complete courses, and, where required, to develop a research proposal, conduct the research, and write a research report. Those students selecting to complete a thesis or a research project work very closely with the faculty advisor and other appropriate faculty. Please note that some programs require a faculty advisor to agree to work with a student in a research area, before he/or she can be admitted to the degree program. To learn more about academic advising for graduate students, please contact the support services noted below.
