Graduate Faculty

Full Graduate Faculty

Graduate education is dedicated to the continued scholarship and professional development of our students. The Graduate College at NDSU sets as the defining principle of graduate education the formation of a special professional relationship between students and program faculty. This professional relationship culminates through mentorship that is developed between a student and a faculty mentor.

In recognition of the role of graduate education, and the importance of mentorship, the Graduate College identifies individuals as being members of the Graduate faculty. This faculty should teach and mentor graduate students. Programs should strive to have courses taught by Graduate Faculty members and student advisory committees composed of Graduate Faculty members. Graduate Faculty status confers certain rights, privileges, and responsibilities to individuals holding this status. The following sections define the various recognized levels of Graduate Faculty membership and the rights pertaining to each.

Full Member of the Graduate Faculty

Full-status members of the Graduate Faculty of North Dakota State University (NDSU) consist of all persons who hold a probationary (tenure-track) or tenured appointment and have been appointed to the rank of Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, or Professor in an academic unit or program area at NDSU.

A full-status member of the Graduate Faculty of NDSU may teach graduate courses, serve as a member of supervisory committees, chair supervisory committees, serve as the Graduate College appointee to supervisory committees, serve as a member of graduate student appeals committees, serve as a member of the Graduate Council, vote at graduate faculty meetings, and serve in any other capacity as required.

Other qualified individuals who are not Full Graduate Faculty Members may contribute to the scholarship and professional development of our graduate students. Affiliate Members of the Graduate Faculty are qualified by educational background and experience to effectively teach and mentor students in graduate programs at NDSU. An appointment for Affiliate Graduate Faculty status is initiated by a graduate program. The chair, head, or director of the academic unit in which the program resides will submit the Affiliate Graduate Faculty Nomination form and a current curriculum vita. The request should include the level of Affiliate Faculty Membership the program proposes the applicant should be given. This request is forwarded to the dean of the academic college in which the program resides for approval. If approved, the request is submitted to the College of Graduate and Interdisciplinary Studies. The request will be reviewed by a subcommittee of the Graduate Council which will make a recommendation to the Dean of the College of Graduate and Interdisciplinary studies, who will determine whether an appointment will be granted. A reappointment may be granted using the process described above.

Members of the Graduate Faculty who have left the institution may be granted Affiliate Faculty status as outlined below:

• Emeritus Faculty. Persons who are granted emeritus faculty status are eligible for Affiliate Faculty Level 1 status for a period of three years. Membership as an Affiliate Faculty may be renewed upon approval of the Graduate Council and the Dean of the College of Graduate and Interdisciplinary Studies.
• Individuals who have retired or left NDSU for other employment opportunities are eligible serve as chair of supervisory committees for one year. This is not renewable. A department may nominate the individual for Affiliate Faculty status as outlined below.

There are three levels of Affiliate Graduate Faculty Members, the appointment level will be determined by the qualifications of the applicant.

---

Affiliate Graduate Faculty Level 1

Duties  

• Chair committees for graduate students
• Serve on committees for all students
• Teach graduate courses

Criteria

• Terminal degree
• Sustained record of scholarly and/or creative accomplishment
• Demonstrated competence in instruction including classroom, advising, or mentoring
• Full-time Employment at an NDSU on-campus unit or a Research and Extension Center

Term

• 6 years
• Must demonstrate sustained record of scholarly and/or creative accomplishment
• Demonstrated competence in graduate instruction including classroom, advising, or mentoring

---

Affiliate Graduate Faculty Level 2

Duties

• Chair committees for all master’s students
• Serve as co-chair for all doctoral students (the other co-chair must be a full member of the graduate faculty)
• Serve on committees for all students
• Teach graduate courses

Criteria

• Terminal degree
• Record of scholarly or creative accomplishment
• Demonstrated experience in teaching, mentoring, or advising   

Term

• 3 years
• Must demonstrate sustained record of scholarly or creative accomplishment
• Demonstrated competence in graduate teaching, advising, or mentoring

---

Affiliate Graduate Faculty Level 3

Duties

• Chair committees for students not required to complete a dissertation, thesis, or scholarly paper
• Serve on committees for all students
•  Teach graduate courses (but no higher than his/her earned degree)

Criteria

• Record of professional achievement in an area related to the program
• Demonstrated competence in teaching

Term

• 3 years
• Must demonstrate sustained record of professional achievement in an area related to the program
• Active involvement in graduate teaching and work with graduate students (but no higher than his/her earned degree)

Graduate Teaching Waivers

Graduate teaching waivers may be granted to individuals who do not meet the requirements for either full or associate graduate faculty status. Teaching waivers only allow individuals to serve as the instructor of record for graduate level courses and carry none of the other privileges of graduate faculty status. Waivers may be granted to qualified individuals who are not students in the department for which the waiver is sought. Graduate teaching waivers may be granted to individuals who do not meet the requirements for either full or associate graduate faculty status. Graduate teaching waivers should be granted sparingly.  A request for a waiver should include a rationale for why the individual nominated is the best choice for teaching the particular course. Teaching waivers are most appropriate for elective courses or courses in applied/professional programs for which experiences gained by professionals will provide a valuable educational opportunity for the students. Teaching waivers should not be requested for required courses in a program, unless no other viable alternative exists. The request for teaching waivers should not be seen as a long-term solution to inadequate numbers of tenure-track faculty members. Thus departments will also be asked to explain their long-term plan to fill any deficiencies in their ability to offer courses for which a waiver is requested.

The burden of proof lies with the applying graduate program to show that the nominee holds qualifications that merit the granting of a graduate teaching waiver. A Graduate Teaching Waiver Request form must be completed with a current copy of the nominee's curriculum vitae and any other pertinent documentation attached.

Graduate teaching waivers are approved by the Graduate Council and the Dean of the Graduate College. Waivers are granted for one academic year and may be renewed twice at the discretion of the Dean of the Graduate College.
