Policy Guidelines
The Office of Graduate studies policies have been designed and have evolved with the following goals intended:
- to facilitate the orderly progress of graduate students,
- to meet expectations of accrediting agencies, other graduate schools and the Board of Regents,
- to provide a common standard and,
- to encourage the development of quality programs.
A graduate student is responsible for how to find and being aware of the Office of Graduate Studies’ official policies. These are found in the biennial bulletin published in every even-numbered year.
Every effort will be made by Graduate Studies staff, program coordinators and assistants, and faculty advisers to aid a student in understanding the policies as they apply to each individual.
