The Office of Graduate and Extended Studies is presided over by the Dean who reports to the VPAA. The mission of the area shall be to oversee the graduate programs including all aspects of admission, matriculation and graduation, and to provide administrative support for all graduate degree programs.

All faculty members who are qualified to teach graduate-level courses from all departments which offer graduate courses shall be eligible for appointment to the graduate faculty. The categories for graduate faculty appointment are regular, adjunct, temporary, and professional specialist. The possession of the doctorate or other terminal degree in the area of specialization is generally required before a person is assigned to teach a graduate course. A maximum of fifteen percent of the total graduate faculty may be those who have not completed requirements for the terminal degree.

The members of the graduate faculty are responsible for the development of graduate programs in their respective departments. Program revisions, changes and proposals submitted and/or approved by the department graduate committee must be received and/or approved by the department head and submitted to the Graduate Studies director for action. The Dean will forward them through appropriate channels for approval.
