Graduate Student Handbook: Master's: The Role of the Graduate Program Advisor and Advisory Committee
A student's graduate program advisor is his/her first contact in planning a program of study. The advisor, along with
the student's advisory committee, will serve the following functions:
- Specify co-requisite courses if required
- Approve the coursework study plan (GS-2)
- Supervise any thesis or engineering report research
- Administer the final examination
- Initiate recommendations for awarding the degree
Study plans documented on GS-2 forms must be completed during the first semester. Circumstances, however, can necessitate
later changes to the plan. Proposals for changes in study plans should originate with the student and the advisory
committee. Authorized changes must be recorded on a revised GS-2 form, which is given to the Student Services Coordinator
for the Graduate Program.
