The Graduate Council is the advisory group within the Graduate College. The Graduate Council governs the policies of the Graduate College, and these policies are administered by the Graduate Dean. Besides the Graduate Dean, who serves as chair, the Graduate Council is composed of a voting representative of each department offering only a graduate major or minor or support courses. The President of the University, the Vice President for Academic Affairs, and the University Registrar are ex-officio members of the Council.
