The Graduate School is the pathway and official school of record for graduate student applications, admissions, registration and enrollment, monitoring and recording of academic progress and milestones (residency, qualifying examinations, candidacy, defense of dissertation), and the awarding of degrees. In addition, the Graduate School dean will oversee diversity, professional development, placement and postdoctoral affairs offices. Vice Provost for Academic and Strategic Affairs John Geer has been serving as interim dean of the Graduate School since Jan. 1, 2015.
