Graduate Studies. The Academic Councilis a committee of the School of Graduate Studies with representation from all academic units, the Registrar’s Office and the Graduate Student Union. The Academic Council is chaired by the Dean of Graduate Studiesand oversees all business, academic and administrative matters related to graduate studies for the University. Academic Council approves regular course offerings for all the University graduate programs and approves all new programs of study. There are a number of sub-committees of Academic Council which deal with fellowships and awards, appeals, etc.

 

Academic and administrative support for the Environmental Science Program is provided through the Office of the Dean of Science. The Faculty of Science recognizes the intrinsic value of graduate programs that are interdisciplinary in nature. Interdisciplinary programs (http://www.mun.ca/science/graduate/interdisciplinary) facilitate collaboration and encourage students and faculty to think outside their own area of expertise.

 

H.1 Board of Study

The Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Environmental Science is managed by a

Board of Study. The Board of Study through its Chairis responsible to the Associate Dean of Science (Research and Graduate Studies)for the quality, delivery and administration of the program. The Board makes all normal academic decisions,


including those related to recommendations for admission of new students to the program. The Board recommends student stipends, including amounts and sources for the components of an individual student’s stipend. The Board ensures that supervisors and supervisory committees follow all appropriate guidelines for supervision of graduate students (with respect to holding regular meetings, ensuring deadlines are met, etc.)

matters concerning the School of Graduate Studies. All recommendations to the School of Graduate Studies (such as admission to the program, thesis examiners, comprehensive examiners, fellowships, awarding of the degree, course changes, etc.) are made on behalf of the Associate Dean of Science (Research and Graduate Studies)by the Program Chair. In addition, the Program Chair (or delegate), will act as the chair for all PhD comprehensive examinations, and will attend all PhD defenses.
