16.2. Affiliate Graduate Faculty
Qualified individuals who are not Full Graduate Faculty members may still contribute to the scholarship and professional development of graduate students. Affiliate Members of the Graduate Faculty are individuals whose educational background and experience qualify them to effectively teach and mentor students within NDSU graduate programs. Affiliate status does not grant the additional rights or privileges held by Full Members of the NDSU Graduate Faculty.
To nominate an individual for Affiliate Graduate Faculty status, submit the Affiliate Graduate Faculty Nomination form and attach the nominee's current curriculum vitae. The nomination form requires the nominator to indicate the level of Affiliate Faculty Status (see below) the program proposes the applicant should be given. The nomination must be approved by the department chair, head or director of the academic unit and the dean of the academic college in which the program resides. If approved, the nomination is 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.
This same process is used for reappointments.
Termination: A department can terminate an individual's Affiliate Graduate Faculty status without terminating their position.
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 (advisor) of supervisory committees for one year.
- This is not renewable.
- This eligibility does not apply to committee membership other than the chair (advisor).
- A department may nominate the individual for Affiliate Faculty status.
16.2.1. Professors of Practice and Research Professors
Professors of Practice may be nominated by their department chairs for Affiliate Graduate Faculty status at either of the three levels. The duties and criteria for each level remain the same, but the term is open-ended. Affiliate status does not grant the additional rights or privileges held by Full Members of the NDSU Graduate Faculty.
Renewals: There is no need for Professors of Practice to be renominated for Graduate Faculty status unless the department is requesting a change in level (i.e., level 3 to level 2, etc.). When a Professor of Practice’s appointment is renewed, their Affiliate Graduate Faculty status is also renewed, automatically, so long as there is no change in the individual’s research percentage.
Should the research percentage be reduced, the department must renominate the individual for Graduate Faculty Status.
There are three levels of Affiliate Graduate Faculty Members, the appointment level will be determined by the qualifications of the applicant. Affiliate status does not grant the additional rights or privileges held by Full Members of the NDSU Graduate Faculty.

16.3. 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.
