Certification Committee
Certification Committee
The student and the major professor will select a Certification/Research Advisory Committee of at least five members during the first year. This committee is chaired by the major professor (dissertation advisor), and at least one member of committee must be outside METC affiliation. For students who choose minor Option A, one member of the committee must represent the minor department. The committee generally will serve as the committee for the student's preliminary and final examinations. They will advise the student regarding professional development and will meet with the student at least once a year to evaluate and assist the student. For these annual meetings, three members shall constitute a quorum.
Each student is required to meet with his/her Certification/Research Advisory Committee on an annual basis. At the start of each meeting, the Committee will choose a member of the Committee, other than the major professor, to act as chair for that meeting. At the end of each meeting the Committee will hold an executive session (without the student present) to prepare a written evaluation of the student (see attached evaluation form). The designated chair will be responsible for completing the written evaluation form. The form should be returned to the graduate program coordinator, who will give copies of the completed evaluation to the student, to all members of the student's committee, and to the Graduate Achievement and Curriculum Committee for review of a student's progress toward the degree.
