Graduate Academic Policies and Procedures
Graduate Registration
During the week of registration, students study the curriculum and discuss proposed programs with their program directors.
Evaluating Graduate Student Progress
Faculty are urged to submit a report to the dean of graduate and professional studies and the specific program director about any student whose attendance is irregular or whose work reflects academic difficulty.
Academic Resources
The College encourages students to work closely with their teachers on their writing in their regular conferences.
Special Arrangements for Graduate Students
Students who are having difficulty meeting their academic commitments are monitored by the dean of graduate and professional studies in conjunction with the student’s program director and, in the case of students in five-year programs, the student’s dons.
Students in Academic Difficulty
Students who are having difficulty meeting their academic commitments are monitored by the dean of graduate and professional studies in conjunction with the student’s program director and, in the case of students in five-year programs, the student’s dons.
Attendance Policies
Consistent attendance for all academic obligations is expected. Students are expected to notify faculty in advance when they must miss a conference appointment or class.
