Updates to Website for GSR
We have added a footnote to the Graduate School Representative (GSR) section of the Doctoral Supervisory Roles & Responsibilities page:
1As of July 12, 2017, the Graduate School no longer requires a GSR to submit a separate report. The GSR communicates their decision on a doctoral exam on the Warrant per Memo 13. This change was communicated to programs in an email from the Dean and Vice Provost of the Graduate School in July 2017.
This footnote is intended to reduce confusion. We’ve received feedback from faculty and advisors that GSRs are still expecting to receive a GSR report to complete and return to the Graduate School.
We are also updating our MyGradProgram template e-mails for GSRs and committee members so they always receive a link to the Doctoral Supervisory Roles & Responsibilities page, including when the exams are scheduled. We appreciate your continuing support of doctoral education at the UW and your feedback is important to us.
