Before submitting this form, the entire Membership to Graduate Faculty process should be reviewed on our Graduate Faculty Council website. This completed form and nominee/faculty curriculum vitae (CV) with updated IU appointment are required for all requests and will be submitted to Dr. Tabitha Hardy, Assistant Dean, IU Graduate School Indianapolis, for approval. Questions about this process may be directed to gradrec@iupui.edu.
A departmental advisory or steering committee must vote to nominate an Indiana University graduate faculty member for an endorsement to chair doctoral dissertation committees. Departments may also select another appropriate review process, such as a majority vote of the department’s graduate faculty members who hold the endorsement.
NOTE: Faculty who leave IU cannot remain on a committee as chair. They can move to co-chair or regular member. These situations require a Change of Research Committee Member Form.
