Please read the Calendar carefully. If you are in doubt about the regulations pertaining to your graduate program, consult the appropriate University official. The University reserves the right at any time to deviate from what appears in the Calendar, either in order to serve the best interests of the University, or because of circumstances or occurrences beyond the University's reasonable control. The University expressly denies responsibility or liability to any person or persons who may suffer loss or who may be otherwise adversely affected by such change. Please note that graduate student deadlines may differ from undergraduate student deadlines.
Graduate students are ultimately responsible for their own programs.
They are expected to read the Calendar and any other relevant documents to become familiar with all regulations and deadlines relating to their programs. The students' fundamental responsibilities include ensuring that their registration is accurate and does not lapse, submitting appropriate forms to the department for signature and processing, and paying all fees required by the deadline dates set out in the Calendar. The supervisor is also charged with ensuring that students conduct their research in a manner that is as effective, safe, and productive as is possible. It is responsible for ensuring that the student receives proper supervision and that the regulations and requirements of the FGSR are met. The department's Graduate Coordinator is the official representative of the department to its graduate students.
