While comments will be shared with the faculty and staff, only the Dean will know who made the comment. Information sought - At the group interview, the Dean seeks honest input and evaluation of your experiences at the School. Any and all comments regarding procedures, faculty, courses, the lab, staff, the library, the building, the Dean, etc., are sought. In order to have the School's presence on campus felt, it is the hope that all graduating students will attend the University's graduation ceremony. The University Bookstore is where graduating students go to order their caps and gowns.
Students are encourage to invite family members and friends to the ceremony.
The Dean of Graduate Studies will approve or disapprove action for individual students for continuance as a graduate student beyond the time limit without 3.0 grade point average or better. In this process, the student brings a complaint first to the instructor, then to the department chairperson, and finally to the academic dean appropriate to the course involved, stopping at the level at which the complaint is resolved. If no resolution is reached, the student brings the complaint to the attention of the Dean of Faculties for either resolution or referral to the Student Academic Relations Committee of the Faculty Senate. This committee has the authority to direct through the Vice President for Academic Affairs that corrective action be taken when justified. Recommendations Recommendations for any aspect of the School may be made via e-mail or by memo to the Dean, the Associate Dean, or to any faculty member.
