When the advisory committee is formed, the major professor and the student must file a Request for University Member Designation form to submit the names of at least three graduate faculty members outside of the major department. From this list, the graduate dean will appoint the university member.
The university member must take part in any formal hearing (proposal defense). The university member must be a voting member of the final examination committee and will sign the thesis.
The purpose of the university member on student committees is to ensure that the policies and procedures of the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences and UNT Health Science Center have been upheld. The presence of the university member is essential for the process of approval of thesis proposals and thesis examinations. The university member's signature on appropriate forms indicates that the integrity of the review process has been preserved. It is the responsibility of the university member to report to the graduate dean any inappropriate due process.
