Application for Appointment to the Graduate Faculty

Applications for membership on the Graduate Faculty are considered twice each academic year. For all Fall applications, the online application will be available June 1 and the deadline to submit will be September 15. For all Spring applications, the online application will become available November 15 and the deadline to submit will be February 1.

The Graduate Faculty membership review process is a semester-long review that engages multiple entities in the college and a Graduate Council standing committee with faculty membership from all colleges. (See University Guidelines Govering Graduate Faculty Membership for full description of the review process.) Fall applicants will receive notice of decision following the November Graduate Council meeting and Spring applicants will receive notice following the April Graduate Council meeting.
