Graduate Faculty Privileges
M0, M1, M2, M3, and SM are used to describe the level of privileges extended to members of the graduate faculty in accordance with the appointment criteria established by the faculty of each department or academic unit.
Appointment | Privileges |
---|---|
M0 | May teach graduate-level classes |
M1 | All the privileges of M0 and may serve on and/or chair master's degree committees |
M2 | All the privileges of M1 and may serve on doctoral committees |
M3 | All the privileges of M2 and may chair doctoral committees |
SM | Special Membership status. May be granted the privilege to teach graduate-level classes, to serve on graduate examination committees, or to serve on thesis or dissertation committees, at the discretion of the academic department and subject to the approval of the graduate dean. Individuals meeting certain conditions may also be granted the privilege to chair committees. May not serve as the Graduate College Representative of dissertation committees. |
The Graduate Council voted unanimously in May 2019 to implement new status definitions: RM0, RM1, RM2, RM3, RM4, and SM. Graduate faculty appointments requested via the electronic forms process in April 2020 and after will use these new status definitions, and the previous ones will gradually be phased out.
