Student Organization
The Computer Science Graduate Student Association meets throughout the academic year. It's a good opportunity to get to know faculty and other grad students.
Schedule of Core Course Sequences
Since the enrollment in 60000/70000-level courses is small, these sequences are offered on an alternate year basis according to the Graduate Course Rotation Schedule.
Satisfactory Progress
Maintaining Good Academic Standing is a university requirement and graduate students are expected to maintain a minimum 3.0 grade point average (GPA) at all times. Additionally, a graduate student who receives more than 8 credit hours of grades lower than B (3.0) or more than 4 credit hours of grades lower than C (2.0) is subject to dismissal. The department takes one of the following actions if a student does not maintain Good Standing.
Grievance Procedures
- A student who has a grievance concerning a graduate course must first contact the professor in charge of the course in order to try and resolve the dispute.
Departmental Facilities
Every graduate appointee will be assigned a mailbox and office space by the department; typically an office is shared with several other graduate students. Instructional- related copying privileges are available to each graduate appointee; copying of personal materials will be done at the student's cost.
Committees and Colloquia
One graduate student is elected each year by his or her peers to serve on the Graduate Student Council. Also, the departmental Curriculum Committee and the Graduate Studies Committee will ask a graduate student to serve on their committee.
Advising
Each graduate student's schedule of classes for each semester should be approved by the student's Academic Advisor. This can be done by scheduling a short advising session in the preceding term.
Beginning in Fall 2024, students seeking advice can contact one of the following advisors based on their graduate program of study
Academic Dishonesty
This documentation is addressed to all students enrolled in either undergraduate or graduate computer science classes. Every student enrolled in a computer science course is expected to be aware of and adhere to the University's policies on academic honesty as described in "Digest of Rules and Regulations." That document can be found in the campus telephone directory. The guidelines given in this document are the official Departmental policy on academic dishonesty and plagiarism in programming projects and exercises.
