The GAPG is concerned with the academic performance of graduate students. Its key functions include the following:
End of Term Academic Review
The GAPG reviews the academic performance of all graduate students at the conclusion of the fall and spring terms, the Independent Activities Period, and the summer session, and takes appropriate actions. End of term actions include imposition of Academic Warning for the following term or, in rare cases, a Denial of Further Registration.
Degree Candidate Review
In September, February, and May of each year, the GAPG recommends to the Faculty candidates to be awarded advanced degrees who have been approved by academic departments and programs.
Recommendations to the Committee on Graduate Programs
The GAPG reports annually to the CGP with recommendations for collaborating with graduate program leadership to maintain and communicate consistent academic performance and progress standards for their students, and to support improvement plans for students who do not meet these standards.
