CoE Graduate Student Advisory Committee (GSAC)
Member Term Policy

The GSAC group was formed in September 2002.  Members are nominated by their department or GSAC members, and are selected by the Associate Dean for Graduate Education.  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 Associate Dean for Graduate Education will make the final decision as to who will take the seat.
