It is the intention to explain the procedures and policies of the department toward graduate study so as to diminish the administrative hurdles that may seem to be imposed in the pursuit of a graduate degree.The regulations for graduate study in the Department of Computer Science (CS) are given in the School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS) section of The George Washington University Graduate Bulletin. The student should become familiar with the regulations there. This handbook elaborates and expands upon them; in the event that a conflict of statement or advice between this Handbook and the Bulletin, the Bulletin is the authoritative document and takes precedence. These regulations have been carefully written so as to permit great flexibility for both students and faculty in formulating a plan of study leading to a graduate degree. Unusual circumstances in a student's life, career, academic preparation, or interest may dictate a novel or uncommon plan of study. Each student is assigned an academic advisor, among whose responsibilities is to assist in preparing an innovative plan of study that is both academically responsible and accommodates unusual circumstances as well as possible. Some of the information contained in this booklet is regulations which apply to all students. Other information is of practices commonly exercised within the department. Still other information is advice for aiding in the successful completion of a degree program. Whatever the nature of the information contained herein, the best source for clarification is the student's academic advisor. Throughout, the masculine pronoun "he" is used to refer to students, faculty, and others. This usage is selected to avoid the awkward "he and/or she" phrase. The words "he", "him", and "his" are meant to refer to individuals of either gender equally. Contents
