After approval, a letter of agreement, signed by the co-supervisors and the supervisee, must be submitted to GPS. If problems arise, the Â鶹AV supervisor will be held accountable to Â鶹AV policies and regulations. Note that the Graduate Program Director may serve as co-supervisor if needed.
    Applicants must carefully review the research interests of individual faculty members and contact them directly to discuss potential projects.
