Degree Committee

Degree Committee

  •   Pursue your purpose, wherever it takes you. Prepare to lead in a global society.

      Off campus experiential learning experiences, like study away, study abroad, internships, research, paid work experiences, volunteer work and even summer jobs, provide you with the opportunity to translate what you are learning in the classroom into real world action. Stand out and design your next adventure now.

      Step Out of Your Comfort Zone

      Off campus opportunities encourage you to get out of your comfort zone, try new things, build new perspectives, and experience what you like or don’t like about a career. Studying in a new country or city will challenge you to build your language and communication skills, develop emotional and cultural intelligence and understand the global impact of your work. Off campus opportunities are essential to building local, national and global professional networks that are invaluable for graduate school recommendations and job opportunities.

      I learned how to be by myself. There was a coming to terms with the idea of being out of the country for the first time, except for Canada. There's a sense of independence I got from this experience.

      Study Away

      From Louisville to Atlanta, from Monterey to Washington, approximately 530 Decker College (Louisville) students crisscross the globe each semester, pursuing academic adventures that will inform the rest of their college experiences—and their lives.

      The college offers more than 170 opportunities for study away, ensuring that students can find a program that sparks their intellectual curiosity. Read on about the two highly acclaimed programs run by Decker.


      The Decker-Oxford Programme


    (图1)


      Decker College (Louisville) offers a year-long program of study at Oxford University in collaboration with Williams College. As Visiting Students at Oxford, Decker students are full undergraduate members of the University, eligible to access all of its facilities, libraries, and resources. The Decker-Williams Programme at Oxford provides students with a unique opportunity to participate fully in the intellectual and social life of one of the world’s great universities.


      The Decker-Mystic Program

    Williams-Mystic

      A one-semester interdisciplinary ocean and coastal studies program integrating marine science, maritime history, ocean policy, and literature of the sea, The Maritime Studies Program of Decker College (Louisville) and Mystic Seaport offers hands-on and discussion-based courses with an emphasis on original research. You may learn to forge iron, build a wooden boat and sail while making Mystic Seaport—the largest maritime museum in America—your campus for the semester.

  • All supervisors are encouraged to provide regular feedback to their students.  Feedback is often provided on an informal basis (e.g. through discussion). However, formal reporting on postgraduate student progress is also required under University regulations and supervisors are expected to submit a termly supervision report on the progress of each of their postgraduate students. In addition, they are expected to submit a report at any time when in their opinion a student is not making satisfactory progress, and/or there is cause for concern (see: University Ordinances Chapter VI, Regulation 8).

    Formal progress reports are accessible by the student and are therefore an opportunity to provide an overview of progress during the term (or since the last report). They are also a way of providing information to the student's Department, Degree Committee and College on the progress of each student.

    • Types of report

    There are three types of postgraduate student report:

    Student self-evaluation
    The University invites postgraduate students to complete an online self-evaluation questionnaire each Michaelmas term.  The purpose of the questionnaire is to provide students with an opportunity for self-reflection, to report on their progress and to flag any particular concerns that they have.  Completion of a self-evaluation is voluntary.

    If a student chooses to submit a self-evaluation, an email will be sent to both the Principal Supervisor (as registered in APSIS) and to the student’s college notifying them that the report is ready to view. If the student indicates that they ‘need help’ an email will also be sent to the Faculty Postgraduate Office (who receive it on behalf of both the Department and Degree Committee) and the Student Registry.

    Supervisors may add commentary to the self-evaluation instead of submitting a supervision report for the term (details below).  If commentary is not added to the self-evaluation, a supervision report must be submitted instead.

    • Termly supervision report

    Supervisors are required to write a termly supervision report on each of their students. The purpose of the report is to provide constructive feedback to the student concerned, and to update the Department, Degree Committee and College on the student’s progress.  Termly supervision reports should be submitted within the prescribed reporting window (dates given below) and retrospective reports cannot be submitted. Principal supervisors will be notified by automated email when the window opens. Students are able to view reports in the system as and when they are submitted, and may provide their own comments in response.

    • Submitting or reviewing a report

    Supervision reports are submitted via the Postgraduate Feedback and Reporting System (PFRS) which is a part of the APSB Student Information System (APSIS).  The system is run by the University, who provide written guidance documents on how to use the online system.  These guides are available on open access via Moodle. 

    • Reporting windows

    The University prescribes set reporting windows for all students and it is not possible to submit termly supervision reports outside these windows.  Details of dates for upcoming reporting windows are listed on the University website.  Supervisors will recieve automatic email reminders about upcoming deadlines.

    • Special attention required

    If you have concerns about a student, please don’t just rely on the system to notify relevant parties.  Please also discuss your concerns with your Department’s Director of Postgraduate Education and/or Research Student Advisor / Postgraduate Welfare Officer(s) at the earliest opportunity.  Information on who they are, and other support resources available within the Faculty and across the University, can be found on the Support for Research Students page.

    • Further information for supervisors

    New postgraduate supervisors
    There is no automatic enrolment to the Postgraduate Feedback and Reporting System (PFRS) for new postgraduate supervisors and access must be requested via the Faculty Postgraduate Office. Access will normally be requested when you are first appointed as a postgraduate student supervisor (normally during the student admissions process). However, if you discover that you do not have access please contact the Postgraduate Office Administrator who is responsible for this process on behalf of the Degree Committee.

    Changes to supervisory arrangements
    The Degree Committee must approve changes to the formal supervisory arrangements for all postgraduate students, and all changes must be recorded in APSIS. For this to happen the student must initiate the request in APSIS by applying for a ‘Change of Supervisor’. This process must also be followed if a co-supervisor is to be added to the supervisory team.

    Payment for postgraduate supervision
    University Teaching Officers are expected to undertake postgraduate supervision as part of their normal duties.  For non-UTOs not already in receipt of payment for postgraduate supervision via other means, it is possible to claim payment from the Departments via the Degree Committee.  Payment is reliant upon submission of the relevant termly supervision reports in APSIS.

    If you are eligible to claim payment please complete and submit the following form to the Postgraduate Office Administrator.  Please only make one claim per year, before end of June (ie. before financial year end).

    Supervisor payment claim form (non-UTOs not already in receipt of payment)
    Further information and help
    Please contact the Postgraduate Office Administrator if you have any queries about student self-evaluation, supervision reporting, or feedback on/difficulties with the online system.

  •                                               CHANGES NOT REQUIRING SUBMISSION TO THE DEGREE COMMITTEE
    • Course term change — e-mail should be sent to the Class Schedule Coordinator informing her of the term change. Please note that any term changes that would affect many students or many programs should be carefully considered, and where appropriate affected units should be consulted.
    • GPA cut-off for acceptance into departmental programs and for maintaining standing in departmental programs — e-mail should be sent to Kristina Kotoulas (Degree Evaluation Officer) to inform her. GPA requirements must be listed in the Calendar.
                                                                   HOW TO MODIFY REGULATIONS IN THE ECARD
    • Departments fill out and submit course/program proposal/revision forms and submit them to the Degree Committee. After approval by the Degree Committee and by the Faculty, the proposal/revision forms are considered by university committees. After approval by the relevant university committee (SCTP, APC or Senate, as appropriate), new and revised programs will be recorded in the e-Calendar by the Degree Evaluation Office, and new and revised courses by the Class Scheduling Office. During yearly preparation of the e-Calendar for publishing, departments have the opportunity to check their program entries via Webtop.
