Dear PhD students,
Spring 2017 registration reminders:
To register for a lab rotation (BINF 703, BIOS 703), first send an email to the professor for permission and then copy me on the reply. I'll email you the CRN to use to register with. The CRN listed
in the schedule of classes for lab rotation is not an active course number.
If you plan to register for
independent study credits (BINF 996 or BIOS 898/899
Directed Study/Research) in spring 2017, first consult with the professor you will be working with to fill out the Directed Studies 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. The number of credits can be flexible according to your topic and project.
Dissertation Proposal and Research Credits – (BINF 998 or BIOS 998)
Please have your committee members sign the Dissertation Progress Form found on
http://ssb.gmu.edu/students/index.cfm under "Doctoral Students” and send it to me.
If you have not registered in previous terms for dissertation proposal credits and want to begin proposal registration in spring 2017,
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. Send it along to me once your committee members have signed, and I will get the dept. signatures. You will need to plan ahead for spring 2017 registration and send
the form to me this fall term.
Thank you,
Diane St. Germain
