A Change of Adviser form is submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies for the change to be effective. Non-degree students who are taking graduate courses will not be assigned an adviser. They may, however, ask a faculty member to serve as an adviser on an ad-hoc basis. Students may enroll for courses for audit by securing the permission of the instructor of the course and the Dean of the School of Graduate Studies.

Any exception must be approved by the student's adviser and the Dean of Graduate Studies.
