The Graduate Education Policy and Curriculum Committee (GEPCC) shall consist of the Graduate Committee Chair from each of the departments in the College, plus two members from the Faculty Council, to be selected by the Faculty Council. Under exceptional circumstances, if a Graduate Committee Chair prefers not to serve, a member of the corresponding committee can be designated by the Department Head as a substitute. The Associate Dean for Graduate Education & International Programs shall be non-voting member of the GEPCC.

The GEPCC oversees graduation requirements, improvement of instruction, curriculum standards, evaluation of new programs and other matters related to graduate education and curriculum. The Chair of the GEPCC shall be elected by its members. The GEPCC shall submit to the Faculty Council matters that require ratification by the Council. Other items shall be sent to the Faculty Council for a vote if a majority of the GEPCC votes to do so.

The GEPCC shall report to the Faculty Council. Proposals from the GEPCC are sent to the Faculty Council for approval. The Chair of the GEPCC will normally attend meetings of the Faculty Council to report on the activities of the committee. The Chair of the GEPCC will not be a voting member of the Faculty Council unless already as member of the Faculty Council.
