Changes to Graduate Programs and
Bulletin Entries
- Bulletin Updates
- Bulletin updates are made annually. In June-July, schools/departments are asked to update their entries. The University Graduate School provides directions on how to submit changes (most likely by Word with "Track Changes"). Retyped entries are not accepted, because the bulletin staff must be able to quickly identify updates.
- Route the updated file to Jody Smith (josmith@indiana.edu) in the University Graduate School. Ms. Smith shares updates with the College of Arts and Sciences for IUB departments and with the IUPUI Graduate Office for IUPUI programs.
- Faculty Changes
- Graduate faculty membership. All tenured or tenure-track members of the faculty are automatically appointed to the graduate faculty. Graduate Faculty Listing (.xls)
- Endorsement to direct doctoral dissertations. Endorsements are not automatically conferred.
- All other faculty appointments:
- Contact your campus representative (see below) for details on how to process the following changes. These changes must be finalized in Dean of Faculties records (IUIE) before they can be included in the University Graduate School Bulletin.

• Emeritus status (this is not automatically conferred upon retirement); Emeritus Graduate Faculty Listing (.xls)

- Program Changes
- Before proposing any changes, please consult the current University Graduate School Bulletin's "General Requirements" and "Academic Requirements," which provide broad outlines of university-accepted policies.
- Program changes require formal approval by both the school dean and the dean of the University Graduate School. Examples of such changes include: addition or deletion of degree programs, changes to curriculum requirements, changes to program tracks or emphases, changes to skill of language requirements, changes in exam administration or policies.
- New Graduate Program / Degree / PhD Minor. Once a new program has received final approval, please contact Jody Smith, Academic Affairs, University Graduate School (josmith@indiana.edu) to ensure that the program is included in the University Graduate School Bulletin.
- Curriculum Changes
- Any graduate-credit course proposal, change (including any rewording of the course description), or deletion must go through the University Graduate School's remonstrance process.
