The Office of Graduate Studies* leads the coordination and development of the University’s graduate programs and students. The office works with other campus stakeholders to coordinate policy, curriculum, student resources, and support Graduate Admissions. The Office of Graduate Studies works closely with the Registrar’s Office and Student Affairs to create a rigorous, high-quality graduate school experience for students, returning professionals, and industry stakeholders. You are welcome to stop into IST 2035 with questions or to talk about your latest discovery. The Office of Graduate Studies monitors your progress, makes decisions around assistantships, and coordinates regularly with Graduate Admissions and Registrar on all the behind-the-scenes business to keeping you on-track and moving through the institution.
Other Support Offices and Personnel
You may have many questions as you transition to graduate study. The first question you probably have is, whom do I talk to when I have questions? There are many people who can help, and even more who are willing.
Offices
Academic Departments
A student’s academic department is their primary “home” in the institution; this is the department that sponsors the track or major within the degree. If you are following an interdisciplinary track like mechanical engineering, then you will refer to that academic department. Typically, students start their first semester with the department chair as their advisor. Some departments may assign students a temporary advisor until they go through the department’s process whereby students are paired with their faculty advisor based on a range of factors, primarily alignment of research interests.
Admissions
Admissions is located on the East side of Campus, and contact info is available at the end of this document. Upon the start of their first semester, students are generally past the admissions stage. However, if they have business yet to complete (particularly if they are an international student) Admissions is available to assist.
Registrar’s Office
The Registrar’s Office is located in the IST on the Northeast corner. The Registrar’s Office is critical to your progression as it is the office where all the important forms are stored that you will need along the way and where all your grades, signatures, and final confirmation of completion of all degree requirements are housed.
Provost’s Office
Dr. Terry E. Parker serves as the provost and executive vice president in addition to acting as the Graduate Director. The Graduate Director’s role is to oversee all graduate programs, and channel the university’s vision into actionable policies. The Graduate Director also works closely with the Department Chairs, faculty, and the Graduate Studies Committee on a range of policy, curriculum, and scheduling matters to make sure that the programs run effectively and deliver quality education.
The most common request of the Graduate Director is approval of various graduate forms. If a student needs something signed by the Graduate Director, they must submit those items to the Office of Graduate Studies who will obtain the signatures or approvals upon the student’s behalf.
