gramming at Edinboro University and serves as a forum to discuss issues
concerned with graduate education at the University. Membership on the
Graduate Council shall consist of the heads of graduate programs. These
members have full voting privileges.
Graduate Student Council
The Graduate Student Council serves as a student council to graduate
studies. Of specific concern are issues related to responsiveness of grad-
uate programming to student needs and policies and practices in the
presentation of graduate education at Edinboro University. Membership
on the Graduate Student Council consists of one representative of each
graduate program nominated by the head of each graduate program for
a term of office not to exceed two years. However, all graduate students
are invited to participate in Graduate Student Council. When deemed
appropriate, the president of the Graduate Student Council may be invit-
ed to attend Graduate Council meetings.
Graduate Professional Development Program
The Graduate Professional Development Program (GPDP) makes funds
available for graduate student professional development grants. The
grants are intended to help students in scholarly activity, research, and in
the presentation of papers at meetings or conferences. The grants can be
used to defray registration, transportation, lodging, and meal costs.
Further information and application can be found at the School of
Graduate Studies and Research website.
Alpha Epsilon Lambda
Alpha Epsilon Lambda is the honor society of graduate and profession-
al school students. The mission of Alpha Epsilon Lambda is to: confer
distinction for high achievement; promote leadership development; pro-
mote scholarship and encourage intellectual development; enrich the
intellectual environment of graduate education institutions; and to
encourage high standards of ethical behavior. The Alpha Nu chapter of
Alpha Epsilon Lambda was chartered in June, 2004. Applications for
admission are available in the School of Graduate Studies and Research
and on the Graduate Studies website.
Student Responsibilities
Students are responsible for seeing that they have met all requirements
for graduation. It is expected that students will discuss the development
of their program leading toward graduation with their advisor. Policies
contained in any catalogues apply to individuals entering June and
August of the first year for which the catalogue is dated and January of
the second year which the catalogue covers, in the case of biennial cata-
logues. Students will be expected to follow the program outlined in the
catalogue in effect at the time of their entry into Edinboro University.
When this is impractical, students, together with their advisor and chair-
person, will develop a program to be approved by the graduate sdean,
which meets degree requirements. Students who transfer to a new pro-
gram or interrupt study at the University and are subsequently readmit-
ted, will be expected to meet the requirements of the program effective
on the date of transfer or readmission.
University Policy Manual
Students need to be aware that the University Policy Manual is available
for inspection in the following areas: Baron-Forness Library (on
reserve); Office of the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs,
Reeder Hall; Office of Records and Registration, Hamilton Hall.
Additionally, the policy manual may be found on the University's web-
site. Students should become familiar with those policies which will
affect them during their time at Edinboro University.
