Guidelines for Graduate Faculty Membership
Graduate Faculty membership is required to teach graduate-level courses, chair master’s thesis committees, and to vote on graduate education issues brought to the faculty by the Graduate Faculty Senate. In addition, depending on the committee composition, Graduate Faculty may also serve as a member on doctoral examination and dissertation committees. Graduate students do not qualify for Graduate Faculty membership. Graduate Faculty membership is department independent and does not expire. There is a formal application for Graduate Faculty membership, depending on the specific faculty situation. Faculty holding a professorial title are (e.g., Assistant Professor, Associate Professor or Professor) are automatically eligible, while other faculty may be eligible.  See the Graduate Faculty Membership website for more details and for the required nomination form.

New Graduate Course Proposals
All graduate courses must be taught by a member of the graduate faculty and must be approved by the Graduate Faculty Senate of the University. Graduate faculty members in the department of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery wishing to teach a new course must contact the VMS Dept. Chair’s Office for a Course Proposal Qualtrics Survey link. You will also be instructed to provide a course syllabus and Instructions for New Course Proposal form. Syllabus and the instructions for New Course Proposal form are located at https://cvm.missouri.edu/veterinary-medicine-and-surgery/vms-internal-use/curriculum-committee/.  Syllabus guidelines are located at https://cvm.missouri.edu/veterinary-medicine-and-surgery/syllabus-guidelines/. VMS Dept. Chair’s Office will then create a Course Proposal form for you. The course proposal form and syllabus will then be submitted to the Departmental Director of Graduate Studies and to the Chair of the VMS Graduate Committee. The graduate committee chair will distribute the materials to the full committee for input; a recommendation for acceptance, modification, or rejection of the new course proposal will be provided to the Chair of the Department of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery.  The Department Chair may then sign off on the course proposal, which will be forwarded (both proposal form and syllabus) to the Graduate Faculty Senate for approval. (See University Registrar Curriculum changes for information).

Changes to Graduate Courses
Graduate courses already offered may periodically require significant changes such as an alteration of title, credit hours, prerequisite courses, etc.  Additionally, courses are occasionally dropped from the curriculum altogether.  These changes can be made by contacting the VMS Dept. Chair’s Office and providing an updated course syllabus and list of changes to be made. The VMS Dept. Chair’s Office will then create a Course Change form for you. Course Change form and updated syllabus will them be submitted to the Departmental Director of Graduate Studies and to the Chair of the VMS Graduate Committee.  The committee chair will distribute the materials to the full committee for input; a recommendation for acceptance, modification, or rejection of the course proposal will be provided to the Chair of the Department of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery.  The Department Chair may then sign off on the course change, which will be forwarded to the Graduate Faculty Senate for approval. (See University Registrar Curriculum changes for information).
