Graduate Council

Graduate Council is a representative body of graduate programs at UH Mānoa and serves as an advisory group to the Dean. In addition to graduate program representatives, the Graduate Student Organization and Mānoa Faculty Senate each have two members on Graduate Council. Members of the Graduate Council serve terms of three years and rotate between the three standing committees: Administrative-Admissions-Advisory, Program, and Course Committees. The council meets regularly throughout the academic year.

Graduate Assembly

The Graduate Assembly is composed of the chairs of each graduate program. It functions as a forum for discussion on matters pertaining to graduate study.

Chairs of the Graduate Programs

The chairs of the graduate programs serve as the liaison with Graduate Division in matters of policy, procedural changes, program effectiveness, and general graduate student affairs. They advise on the admission of graduate students, advise graduate students on their degree programs, review graduate student petitions, keep records on their graduate students, and certify that degree candidates have completed all requirements. Graduate chairs are appointed by the Dean of Graduate Division with the recommendation of the faculty of the program and endorsement by the Dean of the academic unit.
