Also, when your students complete your hiring paperwork, what address are you requesting? Do you request their permanent address? Their local address? What if they are online – do you require your graduate assistants to declare an address during the contract process? Are you tracking at the Graduate School level whether there are address changes, particularly out of state?

We do not have a policy in writing now that I think about it, but in the past, previous Deans of our Graduate School have met with the program and project mentor to let them know that we cannot publish the thesis and we need to move the student to a non-thesis option for the degree. This has not happened in the time that I’ve been interim Dean, so I can’t speak about anything I have done personally. But I do think I will start our team working on developing a policy!

Thank you! This is the type of program I was envisioning in my mind when I asked the question. Very helpful, thank you!

At ECU, Application fees create a portion of our budget. If we waive fees, the Graduate School operational budget decreases. We do not have access to any portion of student fees.

At ECU, we have 2 health sciences programs with high demand (OT & SLP) that have chosen to do an enrollment deposit, but not for any other programs. I don’t know that our leadership would be in favor of it as it presents another ‘barrier’ to enrollment.

We allow our retired faculty to continue to serve on a committee, but not chair it. Their graduate faculty status is active for 5 years. As long as that timeframe has not expired, we will approve them to serve on the committee. Once it’s expired, they would have to be readmitted to graduate faculty status, per the unit’s requirements. If it expires, they would be treated as an external member and would not count as one of the 3 graduate faculty from ECU that we require.

Thanks! Do you have a policy for a grade forgiveness for a course grade? We get asked all the time if someone who earns a C or F could repeat the course and replace the grade. I’m interested in hearing about those policies.

We have a dual degree policy http://catalog.ecu.edu/content.php?catoid=24&navoid=2125#Dual_Degree_Programs. Please feel free to contact me offline if you would like to talk more (Coxka@ecu.edu)

We do not use probation for time to degree. We have a request for a time extension process and if approved, they continue in good standing. If not approved, they have to re-take courses.
