The JDP Program Director may nominate faculty to be formally added as affiliate faculty with the program/group. The Graduate Dean is the final approval authority for affiliate faculty for Joint Doctoral (and Interdisciplinary Graduate) Programs. However, please note that GEPA is simply verifying that the faculty nominee meets the Senate eligibility requirements to serve on doctoral committees. We defer to the Program Director to determine if the faculty member is an appropriate research fit and suitable to mentor the graduate students in the program. The program should only submit nominees to GEPA that are pre-verified as eligible to serve on student committees. Prior to submitting any faculty nominees, the graduate coordinator should verify their eligibility, in accordance with Senate rules, via checking the Faculty Title Lookup tool: https://gradforms.ucsd.edu/committee/staff/facinfo.php.

Please submit faculty affiliate nominations to the Academic Affairs JDP Advisor and Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs. Following review and approval by the Graduate Dean, a formal notice will be issued to the faculty nominee approving affiliation with the program/group. Once approved, the program should ensure the General Catalog is updated to add the approved faculty member to the program’s faculty listing. Please refer to the Senate’s website on the Catalog Copy update process.

When submitting the final dissertation, the student submits to both campuses.  The details of this process are explained to students during their preliminary appointment with UCSD.
