Responsibility and Policy

The graduate faculty, through the Graduate Council and Common Council, establish general requirements for graduate degrees. Each department offering a graduate program establishes discipline specific degree requirements.

Graduate Study policies intend to:

1. facilitate orderly progress of graduate students through their degree programs;

2. meet expectations of accrediting agencies, other graduate schools, and the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents;

3. provide a common university standard and encourage the development of quality programs.

As a graduate student, it is your responsibility to become aware of and abide by graduate study policies. Every effort will be made by graduate study personnel, coordinators, and advisers to aid you as you progress through your graduate career at UW-Stevens Point.
