Routing of application and supporting material:

Page 1 and Curriculum Vitae along with supporting materials (books, articles, etc.) are sent to the DEPARTMENT HEAD.

Department Head will then forward the packet to the DEAN OF THE COLLEGE.

The Dean will then forward the packet to the GRADUATE SCHOOL.

Page 2 and Curriculum Vitae along with supporting materials (books, articles, etc.) are sent to the CHAIR OF THE COLLEGE PEER REVIEW COMMITTEE; if not known, to the GRADUATE SCHOOL who will eventually send them to the chair.

After the college committee meets the applications are sent to the GRADUATE SCHOOL.

When the college review is completed, the individual applications are collated (stapled or clipped) in this order: page 2 of application, page 1, CV, and supporting material (if provided). Applications are then alphabetized within each college.

The tally sheets are then typed in order of college.

Each member of the Committee on Graduate Faculty will receive two copies of the tally sheets and one set of the Graduate Faculty Membership Criteria. These copies are all sent to the Chair of the Committee on Graduate Faculty who will distribute it to the members.

The applications are then delivered to the Circulation Desk in Dupre Library. The committee members must go directly to the Library to review the applications. One copy of the tally sheets are marked and sent to the Chair of the Committee on Graduate Faculty.

The Chair of the Committee on Graduate Faculty calls a meeting of the committee, will then indicate the outcome of the vote (appointment or denial) on each application, return the applications and the committee's recommendations (in the form of a letter) to the Graduate School.

The recommendations are considered at the next meeting of the Graduate Council.
