Note that after a student seats a full Graduate Advisory Committee, they may add anyone they like to the committee as a participating member (with advisor approval and must hold GFS at UNLV). Additional members joining a full GAC will be a voting member if they have been granted the following GFS privileges (See GFS privileges table below) in the students’ home department: (i) for Masters committees, the additional member hold at least the “GAC Member Master’s Only” (Level 4 or above) (ii) for Doctoral committees, the additional member hold “GAC Member All Levels” (Level 2 or above) The additional member will be a non-voting member if they hold solely the “Extra GAC Member only” designation (Level 7). Graduate Faculty Status (GFS) is organized as follows:

Grade threshold: A course in which the student earns a grade of less than C may not be used to fulfill degree requirements/be considered for use toward the degree. Departments may impose a higher grade standard, and it is common for degree programs to not accept courses with grades below a B. Clarity in terminology: Mandatory Annual Student Review > Mandatory Annual Individual Development Plan (IDP) - Each winter break and early spring term, graduate students are required to complete a Graduate Student Individual Development Plan form. The review covers the prior calendar year and assesses student progress, and it establishes reasonable goals for the year ahead. Reported student data is shared with students’ graduate coordinators and faculty advisors to foster opportunities for discussion about students’ strengths and weaknesses, accomplishments and next requirements, and mentoring plans so that students know what they need to do in order to progress successfully through their programs in a timely manner. Students who are graduating are also required to complete the form in order to record their achievements since the data is also used to track metrics related to the annual productivity of all students.
