Dear Students,
Fall 2018 registration has begun!
If you plan to register for independent study credits (BINF 996 or BIOS 898 or 899 Directed Study/Research) in fall 2018, please consult with the professor you will be working with to fill out the form on http://ssb.gmu.edu/students/index.cfm   under "Doctoral Students".   Send me the form once it's signed by you and the professor.

If you have not registered in previous terms for dissertation proposal credits (BINF or BIOS 998) and want to begin proposal registration this fall, you'll need to first form a dissertation committee. Talk with your faculty research advisor about possible committee members.  The "Committee Formation" form is found on http://ssb.gmu.edu/students/index.cfm   Please send it along to me once your committee members have signed, and I will get the dept. signatures. It is a good idea to plan ahead for spring 2019 registration and get the form to me this fall term.

For a lab rotation (BINF 703 or BIOS 703), first send an email to the professor for permission and then forward his/her answer to me.  I'll email you the CRN to use to register with.

Any questions please let me know.  I would appreciate having the necessary forms or emails by June 15.

thank you,
Diane St. Germain
