Dear Master's students,

Midterms are over but don't relax yet -- It's time to plan now if you want to register for thesis or project credits in spring 2014!

To register for thesis or project credits (BIOL 799 or BIOL 798), you should be at the end of your MS course requirements. Thesis or Project registration is done in the final semesters, as noted on your Program of Study.

You will first form a committee made up of 3 graduate faculty with your research advisor / P.I. as the Committee Chair. The Chair of your committee can be from another department, as long as they are graduate faculty at Mason.  At least two committee members will be from the School of Systems Biology faculty (SSB) or Mason faculty associated with SSB; the third member can be from another dept or from SSB, as long as they are a Mason faculty member.  Talk with your research advisor / P.I. for suggestions on who may be appropriate candidates for your thesis or project committee.  A list of SSB faculty can be found on http://ssb.gmu.edu -- choose the tab at the top.

Have your committee sign the Committee Formation form, found under the tab for Students on the SSB website.

Submit a proposal to your committee for approval ONE SEMESTER AHEAD of your planned BIOL 798 or BIOL 799 registration.  Have your committee members sign the Proposal Approval form and send it to me along with a copy of the approved proposal.  (I will get the department signatures).  I will then be able to send you the CRN to register with in spring 2014.

For spring 2014 registration the deadline to submit a Committee Formation form with signatures to my office will be November 15. The deadline to submit a signed Thesis or Project Proposal Approval form with signatures will be December 13.

Forms are found on http://ssb.gmu.edu under the "Students" tab.

Any questions please let me know.  You must meet the deadlines listed above in order to register for thesis or project credits in spring 2014.

thank you,
Diane St. Germain
