Respective
Responsibilities of Students and Faculty
A.
Student Responsibility
Students are responsible for reading this catalog and
understanding the programs, rules, and regulations affecting their academic
progress. Further, students are responsible for fulfilling degree requirements
and for enrolling in courses that fit into their degree programs.
Students are urged to plan their work with care, consulting
their graduate advisers and those of the teaching staff under whom their work
will be taken, and to bear in mind the requirements for the degree they seek.
Students are responsible for developing a program of studies approved by their
graduate adviser acting on behalf of the Graduate Studies Committee for the
graduate program in which they are enrolled. The program of study must assure
substantial mastery of the scholarly apparatus of the student’s chosen field as
well as any languages or other research skills necessary to pursue the degree.
The requirements for a particular degree are listed in this catalog under the
name of the specific program.
In addition, all graduate students must visit their graduate
advisers prior to registration for the semester in which they plan to graduate.
B.
Faculty Responsibility
Faculty members are responsible for reading this catalog and
understanding the programs, rules, and regulations so that they can effectively
advise students.
Each graduate program has a Graduate Studies Committee that
is responsible for the academic content of the programs of studies required for
degrees, subject to certain administrative approvals. Each committee has responsibility
for the acceptance of graduate students and for the approval of the specific
program of study for each student. Each committee also has the responsibility
for naming graduate advisers to advise graduate students until the time of
appointment of their thesis or dissertation supervising committees, if any.
Supervising committees must meet at least once each year and file an annual
report on students’ progress with the Dean of Graduate Studies.
