Hello all,
You are receiving the message because you are currently listed as an advisor for one or more Educational Leadership, Renewal, and Change students or faculty in LTC.
When we made the change in Specialization names, we did not realize the importance for our international students to have the word "Leadership" in their specialization for them to have funding from their government. A number of them requested to be allowed to have the School Leadership Specialization. Even though School Leadership did not change their curriculum, plans to share core courses with LTC, and most of these affected students are close to finished, Rod has refused to allow international students to use the School Leadership specialization.
Therefore, the powers that be have decided that Brian will send a letter requesting that we keep ELRC for those students already admitted to it. Of course, this is going to cause some confusion and sorting out. Kathy and I already heard from a number of students that they want to be in LTC as well as some non-international students who want School Leadership. The Graduate School has indicated that they will keep ELRC for us, but that anyone who wants to change will have to submit a GS-7.
Therefore, I wanted to let you know that Kathy and I are sending a couple of different messages out.
1. For all ELRC/LTC students admitted this past fall 2011, we should have them do a GS-7 to move to LTC. We have 5 of these, 2 are mine, 2 are Bill's, and 1 is Louise's. We will work on this separately - they have not received any general messages, just the one I sent personally to them last night.
2. We have 5 students that Don Quick and I are working with and we will work with them individually to determine LTC or ELRC. Those who want LTC will fill out a GS-7.
3. Of the remaining 35 on the list, for those who did not respond, therefore defaulting to LTC, and those who responded indicating they want LTC, we will send a message letting them know that they do not have to change, but if they want to, they need to file a GS-7 with their advisor.
4. For those who indicated they want school leadership but will not be accepted in school leadership we will let them know they will remain as ELRC.
5. For the American students who indicated they want School Leadership, we will leave them as ELRC and let them know that they need to talk with Rod and their advisor about changing to School Leadership and if approved they then file a GS-7.
This has all been very confusing and taken a lot of energy on Kathy's part - so be sure to thank her as you work out this question for each of the ELRC students that you advise.
As always if you have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. I am also happy to talk to any students.

Training session - on new process for graduate students - exams etc.
Important note: these are my notes and may contain errors.
I am sitting in on the training session for SOE graduate work today.
I will try to add things that I learn here....
First here is a link to the forms that you will need to complete the entire process.
There is allot of information about exams on this page. Including dates for the old and new examination process.
Forms for exam - it was explained that there are three forms for the exam. These forms are
SOE Form 14 - Intent to complete Ph.D. exam
SOE Form 15 - Affirmation signature page - you submit this form with your exam response.
GS-16 = this form goes to the graduate school - it is signed during your oral exam.
There are only one exam when undergoing the new format. You have a one exam that you take after all of our course work is done. You have one month to take the exam. And you defend your exam with you committee (you get the GS 16 signed). You should schedule your oral examination of your exam within three to six weeks after you take it. If it takes longer seven to eight weeks no problem.
There are very few conditions that would allow you to suspend your writing on the exam. Once you start you can't stop. So make sure that you are ready.
The deadlines are established by the Graduate School. See the memo below.
Preliminary exam writing. The writing should be informed by, but not representative of, your earlier work. In other words - don't copy entire pages from previous work and include them in your exam writing. The intent is that you write this during your exam writing period.
If pass... then you move onto your dissertation proposal.
The two semester rule:
This is the rule that states that you must have one full semester between the signing of the GS16 (examination pass and signed) and he GS24 (final defense of the dissertation).
Example, if you make the deadline for the fall semester 2011 for your exam (see memo below) - the GS 16 is signed and submitted to the Graduate School. You can not graduate until Summer 2012. You need one full semester between the GS16 and the GS24 (final defense).
Your Proposal - and forms
SOE Form 32 - Dissertation Proposal Review (internal to SOE - approval of your project)
This is an important document and meeting. You get agreement (approval) with your committee about your project.
FAQ - there are several interesting questions answered here.

Timing of the PhD Preliminary Examination
MEMORANDUM
TO: Department Heads and Directors
FROM: Jodie Redditi Hanzlik, Interim Vice Provost for Graduate Affairs
SUBJECT: Timing of the PhD Preliminary Examination
The purpose of this memo is to help clarify the policy on the timing between a PhD student’s preliminary examination and final examination. Per Section E.4.4 of the Graduate and Professional Bulletin, “A preliminary examination shall be administered at least two terms before the final examination to determine whether the student is qualified to continue toward the doctorate.” That is, a student must have two semesters between the preliminary examination and the final examination.
In order for the timing to be consistent from year to year, we will align with the university academic calendar’s dates of the first day of classes for each semester. The schedule is determined by using the first day of the term and the day before the first day of the next term.
An example of this year’s preliminary examination calendar schedule is shown below:
Fall 2011: Between August 22, 2011 and January 16, 2012
Spring 2012: Between January 17, 2012 and May 13, 2012
Summer 2012: Between May 14, 2012 and August 19, 2012
Potential scenarios:
If a PhD student completes his/her preliminary examination during the fall 2011 semester, his/her final examination cannot be administered prior to May 14, 2012. Fall 2011 and spring 2012 count as the two terms.
If a PhD student completes his/her preliminary examination during the spring 2012 semester, his/her final examination cannot be administered prior to August 20, 2012. Spring and summer 2012 count as the two terms.
Thank you for your assistance and please contact Kelly Geisert at 491-6817 if you have questions.
