Committee Exceptions
If the committee is not valid, they will be able to review the exception document that was uploaded by the Staff Graduate Advisor.
Conflict of Interest
If anyone disclosed a Conflict of Interest, then the Department Chair will review that information, and will report how the conflict will be mitigated.
Approving
Once you have finished, you can click approve, and the workflow will continue.
Denying
If you need to deny the action, you must enter a comment in the Step Comment box describing why you denied the committee so that the student has the information needed to submit a committee that is acceptable.
