Senate Updates to the Policy on Syllabi for Courses

At its November 13, 2023 meeting, the Educational Policy Committee, in consultation with the Graduate Council, approved amendments to the Policy on Syllabi for Courses.  The amended policy will now require all graduate directed research and teaching apprenticeship courses (typically numbered 296, 297, 298, 299, and 500) to have a syllabus. The changes take effect in Fall 2024.

Resources for developing syllabi for directed research and teaching apprenticeship courses:

The revised Policy on Syllabi for courses is posted on the Senate’s website.  Questions related to the policy revisions may be directed to Ashley (Welch) Hill, Senate Associate Director, at awelch@ucsd.edu.

Senate Rules on Remote Participation for Master's and Doctoral Examinations

Beginning in Fall 2022, Graduate Council updated the rules for conducting master's and doctoral exams. The default method for the doctoral and master’s committee to conduct graduate examinations (doctoral qualifying examination and final dissertation/thesis defense) is when the student and all members of the committee are physically present in the same room. The Graduate Council recognizes, however, that practical exigencies do not always make this possible. Therefore, the Graduate Council will defer to the graduate programs (Department Chair or Program Director) to review requests for exceptions and to make decisions to allow remote participation. The graduate program must ensure that when an exam is approved to be held entirely remote or in a hybrid format (i.e., some members are physically present and some are remote) that the student has agreed to this format. It is expected that there will be synchronous participation by all committee members in the scheduled exam.
