Resources for Faculty

Student Committee Appointment Form (Word)

Graduate Student Committee Guidelines (pdf)

The College of Graduate Health Sciences has developed a road map to help research advisors and student faculty committee members understand what the College expects from them while they serve as members of a graduate student committee. The College relies upon faculty committees to oversee all aspects of a student’s dissertation/thesis project. They are responsible for seeing that the student complies with all the policies and regulations of both the program and the College. Most importantly, they are the advisors to both the student and the research advisor. We hope the pdf document will be of benefit to you as you serve on graduate student committees.
