DEPARTMENTAL COMMITTEES

The Graduate Committee
This committee is responsible for the day-to-day operation of the graduate program and for submitting recommendations for changes and modifications in that program to the Graduate Staff for action. The chairperson shall report on all business under consideration to the Graduate Staff at its next meeting or within one month, whichever occurs first.

The Committee on Graduate Students
The Committee on Graduate Students processes the application for graduate study and financial support, assesses the performance of graduate teaching assistants already on the staff, and makes appropriate recommendations for the action of the Department chairperson. The recommendations of the graduate faculty shall be solicited in all cases involving continued financial support.

Grievance Procedures
Should a grievance arise, the student should make the circumstances known to the chairperson of the Department. If the matter cannot be satisfactorily resolved at the Departmental level, the next recourse is the office of the Graduate Division of the College, where one of the associate deans is empowered to deal with student grievances.
