This new web-based petition system was implemented January 16, 2001. You will note the following changes for all petitions submitted after January 16, 2001. This notification will contain details regarding the decision and will replace paper copies that are presently mailed to the student and the department. Please feel free to contact Timika Hite or Betsy Kleiss at 3-2364 if you have questions, feedback, or suggestions for improvement. Susan Searing, Chair of the Library User Committee, will speak about library services for graduate students.
All students are welcome and encouraged to attend.
Generally these committees meet one to two hours per month during the fall and spring semesters. The Graduate College and the Counseling Center will be conducting focus groups in April to gather information about your experiences as graduate students at the University of Illinois. We are seeking volunteers who would be willing to attend one focus group meeting where they would participate in a discussion about their academic and personal experiences in graduate school. Information from these focus groups will be utilized to assist with the development of programs and workshops for graduate students. Pizza and soft drinks will be provided afterwards.
