RESOLVED: That such plan be coordinated in cooperation with the Dean of the School and with the Dean of Graduate Studies; and be it further

RESOLVED: That the faculty assigned graduate advisement responsibilities shall prepare current, accurate information on degree and credential requirements which shall be accessible to both currently enrolled and prospective students; and be it further

RESOLVED: That according to University guidelines, workload adjustment may be granted where appropriate to faculty persons assigned graduate advisement responsibilities.
