ADVISING
Each student in the graduate program is assigned a faculty adviser. It is important that students maintain frequent contact with the adviser throughout the course of their studies.
Students must meet with their academic adviser prior to each registration and at any other time they need advice or consultation. Students must have a detailed program of study formally approved by their adviser prior to registration. Advisers also handle requests for waiver of certain degree requirements where warranted. Such waivers must be approved in writing and must be entered into the student’s departmental file. Where specific courses are waived, the approval of the course instructor is also required. When waivers are granted, students may be required take other specific courses in their place, or to select additional electives.
Students registering for any guided studies (readings, projects, theses) are assigned project advisers for each such activity. The project adviser may or may not be the same as the student’s academic adviser, depending upon the subject matter selected. To register for any guided study activity, students must submit written proposals for the topic(s) to be covered to an appropriate project adviser before registration. To register, the written approval of the project adviser is required in addition to the approval of the academic adviser.
While academic advisers consult and give advice to students, it is the student’s responsibility to ensure that all degree requirements are fulfilled and to submit all proper forms and application when necessary.
