GSAC Member Policy

CoE Graduate Student Advisory Committee (GSAC)
Member Term Policy

Below are the guidelines for the GSAC members:

  1. There will be a two-year term limit.  At the end of two years, if a student wishes to remain active in GSAC, he/she will be evaluated, and a decision will be made as to whether the position can be kept.
  2. All GSAC members must agree to lead at least 2 workshops/events each year.
  3. Any member who does not attend at least one-half of the GSAC meetings in a given term will be sent a warning that he/she will be removed if attendance and/or participation is not improved.  If improvement is not seen, the  member will be replaced.  If there is a valid conflict with the scheduled meetings, special permission may be requested to miss those meetings.
  4. A member can choose to leave at any time. 
  5. For a vacancy either for a specific department or a key graduate student society, GSAC members and the department will be asked to nominate a new student.  Of the nominations made, the Coordinator of Graduate Education Programs will make the final decision as to who will take the seat.
