Graduate Council Bylaw Article IV: Membership (pdf) of the Graduate Faculty
Membership Criteria and Procedures by Department/School
Request for Exception (ipdf) or (pdf) to Graduate School Bylaws for Teaching Graduate Courses-To request a non-graduate faculty member teach a 400/500 level course-Submission deadline: Should be submitted the semester/term in advance of the course offering.
Student-at-large applications for each semester now close on the Friday before classes start. Under certain circumstances department chairs/school directors and graduate coordinators may ask Admissions to process a late at-large application.
Those requests for exceptions to the application deadline must come to Admissions directly from the chair or coordinator, not from the student.
Department chairs/school directors or graduate coordinators who confirm that there is an open seat in one or more of their courses and are willing to have the student-at-large add the course/s late may call the Graduate Admissions Office 438-2196 for the name and e-mail address of the staff who are handling these applications. An e-mail message should then be sent with the subject line AT-LARGE, LATE and state in the body of the message the student’s name and the course number/s and section/s where the student is welcome. Those permissions to apply late do not require a special form or a Graduate School approval, only the e-mail message. The student’s at-large application will then be processed after the deadline.
The chair/director or coordinator may require that the student first secure permission from the instructor of the course/s before considering a request for late processing of an at-large application.
After the application for admission to student at large is processed the student will still need to register for the course.
