to a particular student's topic may serve as an external member of a committee upon
recommendation of department and approval of the College Director of Graduate Studies
and the Vice Provost for Graduate Programs. Determination of whether such an external
member is a voting member is made by the appropriate academic unit with the approval
of the College Director of Graduate Studies. Only one external member is allowed on
a committee.
- When instructors who are not members of the graduate faculty teach graduate only course
work, except for the Applied Music program, the head of the appropriate academic unit
will notify the Vice Provost for Graduate Programs and provide documentation of their
special qualifications to teach the course.
