SECTION 2 - THE PROGRAM OF STUDY

II. Faculty Advisors

In planning their program of study each semester, students should consult either the Executive Officer or the Deputy Executive Officer. Upon completion of the First Examination the student will select a faculty adviser, who will continue in that capacity until the student files the dissertation prospectus and selects a dissertation adviser. The student may change faculty advisers at any time. This faculty member will advise and represent the student on many academic matters, but it is the student's responsibility to make sure that he or she has a proper adviser and to inform that adviser of his or her interests and intentions. In many cases a student will have the same adviser throughout his or her graduate career, but should the student change fields, there will also very likely be a change of advisers. The original adviser need not serve on the Dissertation Committee.
