Overview
The Graduate Operations Committee serves as an advisory body to the Dean of the Graduate and Professional School. It focuses primarily on operations and procedures regarding the administration of graduate education throughout the University.
The Graduate Operations Committee meets regularly with Associate Deans in each College to discuss issues/concerns of an operational nature and to recommend procedures, which are as uniform as possible across Colleges, to resolve these issues/concerns. The Graduate Operations Committee works very closely with the Graduate Council to coordinate all curriculum and policy issues. It also works closely with the Academic Operations Committee to consider recommendations concerning operations and procedures.
Membership of the Committee includes the Associate Provost and Dean of the Graduate and Professional School as chairperson, the associate dean (or other named individual) responsible for graduate administration from each academic college, a representative from the Faculty Senate, a representative from the Graduate Council, a representative from the Academic Operations Committee, the Associate Director of Admissions, the Registrar (or designee) and other ex-officio members as deemed appropriate by the Provost.
The Graduate Operations Committee may consider, for example:
- Procedures for streamlining admissions processes for international and domestic graduate students.
- Eligibility criteria for awarding of fellowships and out-of-state tuition waivers.
- Procedures for English Proficiency Certification of international graduate students as required by the legislature.
- Guidelines for implementing, monitoring and funding intercollegiate faculties and interdisciplinary programs.
- Procedures for enforcement of graduate student requirements such as final examination, degree plan, etc.
