The Graduate Council assists the Dean for Research and Graduate Studies in matters relating to the administration of the graduate programs including the procedures used in classification, admission to degree programs, assessment of the status of graduate students, assuring the high quality of graduate programs, and assuring appropriate support for graduate programs. The council serves as a forum for the discussion of concerns relating to graduate programs.

The responsibility for the formulation and recommendation of policy regarding the program of graduate studies rests with the University Curriculum Committee. The Graduate Council, however, may communicate its interests in such matters to the University Curriculum Committee.
