Student and Major Advisor Agreement

This form must be submitted by the faculty advisor.


Purpose: All students in the Computing PhD Program must select a major advisor prior to the end of their first semester of the program. This agreement remains in effect until it is either canceled, updated, or the student completes the degree.


Instructions: Faculty should complete this form while meeting with their student. Section 2 of this form is a checklist that provides topics for discussion that help to clarify the expectations and responsibilities of the graduate student and the major advisor. The program recommends that the student and faculty keep their own written notes on what is agreed upon.


Upon submission: Students will be e-mailed a copy of this agreement and asked to approve it digitally. Once approved by the student the final copy will be sent to program staff for review and processing.
