titleHow does a Joint Doctoral Program formally add a faculty member as an affiliate with the program/group?

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.

titleWhich campus do Joint Doctoral students enroll at?

Students in Joint Doctoral programs with SDSU enroll at both campuses during the course of their study. Students in the Joint-Doctoral program with CSUSM only enroll at UCSD during the course of their study.

For students in JDPs with SDSU, each year (typically July/August) an enrollment survey is requested asking which campus students will enroll at for the academic year.  There are 3 options:

  1. Enrolling and paying fees at SDSU only.

  2. Enrolling at both campuses and paying all fees at UCSD (not common).

  3. Enrolling at both campuses and paying all fees at SDSU.

*If a student has a break in enrollment at UCSD while taking courses at SDSU the student will need to be reactivated – please be sure to update your departmental list as soon as possible so the JDP advisor can activate the individual student’s enrollment options.
