See Appendix A for a Course Yearly Breakdown and Example Plan of Study.

A full-time w88 online game student may not register for more than sixteen (12) w88 online game units in any semester, or more than six (6) w88 online game units in any six-week summer session. w88 online game assistants may not register for more than twelve (12) w88 online game units per semester. More than 12 credits requires an overload memo from the director.

Students who register for nine (9) w88 online game units or more in a semester are considered full-time. To be considered full-time for financial aid purposes, all w88 online game students, including those on assistantships, must be enrolled in at least nine (9) w88 online game units; a minimum of 72 w88 online game units is required, including at least 48 units in course work. At least 30 units of 700-level courses beyond the bachelor’s degree, not including dissertation units, are required for the doctoral degree.

w88 online game Completion Requirements

w88 online game School Academic Requirements

All w88 online game students must maintain a cumulative w88 online game GPA of 3.0. If their GPA drops below 3.0 they are either placed on probation or dismissed. Undergraduate courses will not count towards w88 online game GPA.

Probation: students whose cumulative graduate GPA is .1 to .6 points below that needed for a 3.0 GPA are put on probation. Students are placed on academic probation for one semester. If they fail to raise their cumulative GPA to 3.0 by the end of one semester, they are dismissed from their graduate w88 online game. Thesis, dissertation, S/U graded credits, and transfer credits have no impact on a student’s GPA.

Dismissal: students whose cumulative graduate GPA is .7 or more grade points below that needed for a 3.0 GPA are dismissed. Dismissed students are no longer in a graduate w88 online game but may take graduate-level courses as a Grad Special. Students wishing to complete their degree must obtain approval to take graduate-level courses, raise their graduate GPA to at least 3.0 and then re-apply to a graduate w88 online game. Any courses taken to raise their GPA will be included in the graduate special/ transfer credit limitation (9 credits for master’s degrees).

Transfer Credits

These are credits transferred from another institution. Credits completed at UNR in another w88 online game or as a graduate special do not need to be transferred. Transfer credit is requested on the w88 online game Credit Transfer Evaluation Request form available on Graduate School website and must be signed by the student, major advisor, and graduate director. Transfer credits applied to a master’s w88 online game must comply with the time limitation on master’s work (6 years). Thus, if a student took a course five years prior to admission, they would have to complete the degree within one year for the course to apply to the degree. Credits from a completed master’s degree will be exempt from the 8-year time limitation for those students earning a doctoral degree.

Committee Selection Guidelines

First Year of Study - The Co-Directors of the w88 online game Biosciences Program will advise students during their first year of graduate study. First year students will enroll in CMB 701/702 (Research Rotation in the fall and spring of their first year). These rotations are intended to expose students to the range of research in the w88 online game Biosciences Program and to aid in the selection of an advisor. Students should rotate in a least two different laboratories. In the first two weeks of the first semester, students will attend presentations by CMB faculty interested in recruiting students into their laboratory in order to become familiar with faculty research and available research opportunities.

Selection of the Advisory/Examining Committee – Upon completion of the second rotation, each student will select a Dissertation Advisor who will serve as chair of their Advisory/Evaluation Committee. The Dissertation Advisor must agree to take the student on and will be responsible for supporting the student’s research and providing a stipend consistent with CMPP guidelines. Students who are unable to identify a willing mentor at the completion of the second rotation will be advised by the members of the Student Oversight Committee over the summer following the first year of study. If a mentor cannot be found, the Committee will provide the w88 online game Director with a written summary of the student’s performance in course and research work and may recommend that the student be dismissed from the Ph.D. w88 online game. Once a mentor is chosen student should complete the declaration of mentor form and submit to the w88 online game school: Declaration of Advisor form.

The Advisory/Examining committee will consist of at least five members of the Graduate Faculty: the Committee Chair/Permanent Advisor, at least two members of the CMB Graduate w88 online game, at least one faculty member from a department in a field related to the student's major, and at least one graduate faculty member representing the university-at-large. (For doctoral students, the research advisor may be a different faculty member than the permanent chair.) Students may request the appointment of a qualified faculty member from another university or from a relevant discipline or profession. Formal approval of the student's advisory/examining committee is made by the Graduate Dean. The Advisory/Examination Committee will hold an initial meeting prior to or early in the fall semester of the second year of study. The committee will approve the Qualifying Exam, the w88 online game of study, and the dissertation. It will also conduct the formal oral part of the doctoral dissertation defense and serve in an advisory capacity to the student during his or her tenure in the CMB w88 online game. The student and committee will meet annually to prepare a written progress report consisting of a list of the courses the student has taken, the courses proposed for the next year, and the tentative date for the Qualifying Exam. The committee should review the students w88 online game of study which should be initially submitted to the Graduate School no later than the day of the qualification day: w88 online game of Study form.

Doctoral Programs: Consist of a minimum of five graduate faculty members; the chair, at least two faculty members from the student’s major department/w88 online game, at least one faculty member from a department in a field related to the student’s major, and at least one Graduate School representative.

In case of interdisciplinary w88 online game programs, the w88 online game School Representative cannot have a primary appointment in the same department (or other appropriate major unit) as the student's committee chair. Formal approval of all student advisory committees is made by the w88 online game Dean

Comprehensive Exams

w88 online game must pass a Comprehensive Exam consisting of a written research proposal and oral examination by the Advisory/Examination Committee in order to be a candidate for a Ph.D. degree. w88 online game are required to enroll in CMB 795 in the semester in which they plan to take the Comprehensive Exam. w88 online game are allowed 2 semesters to complete the Comprehensive Exam – sign up for the class in one semester and finish in the 2nd semester, then a grade change form is submitted. Failure to complete the Qualifying Exam will result in an Incomplete in this course.

The grant proposal of the Comprehensive Exam may be in the standard NIH format for a multi-year R21 grant as described in PHS form 398 (Grant Website) or other format as recommended by the Committee.

This may include (suggested page limits):

Abstract (1 page)
Specific Aims (1 page)
Research Strategy (6 pages)
1. Background
2. Significance
3. Innovation
4. Preliminary Studies (optional)
5. Approach
Literature Cited
Human Subjects or Vertebrate Animals (as appropriate) (3 pages)

It should not include personnel, budget or facilities pages. Standard English grammar and spelling and accurate citation to work by others are required.

The topic must be approved by the Advisory/Examining Committee before the student begins writing. It can be an extension of the student's current research problem if it represents a significant advance or novel approach to the problem. It cannot be the same as a research project described in any grant submitted by the advisor or collaborators. Resources that may be consulted include the library, PubMed, the Advisory / Examining Committee, other researchers and other w88 online game. The finished document must be the student’s own work. The proposal should be sent out to the examining committee at least two weeks prior to the date of the comprehensive examination to allow time for the committee to evaluate the proposal.

The student's doctoral committee will formally examine the student orally on the grant. If the grant proposal is not considered acceptable, a revised grant proposal will be due two months from the date of the first examination. If the student fails the second examination he or she will be dropped from the w88 online game. This exercise is viewed as an important component of the student's training and education. To pass the exercise, students will need to be well-versed in the current literature in their field, and be able to formulate and defend their research plan and methodology. Students will also be expected to answer questions about the principles and factual basis of the research being proposed as well as any principles and facts of biomedical science that the committee feels the student should know to advance to candidacy. This exam will introduce the student to the style, complexities and nuances of the grant proposal process and will begin to develop those skills necessary for obtaining extramural research grants and for defending their ideas before other scientists.

In order for a student to pass the Qualifying Exam, the Advisory/ Evaluation Committee must reach a consensus that the student has written an acceptable proposal and performed satisfactorily in the oral examination. This consensus will be provided to the w88 online game Director. If the Committee cannot reach such a consensus, they may offer the student the opportunity to revise the written proposal, to repeat the oral examination, or both within a period determined by the Committee. Alternatively the Committee will provide the w88 online game Director with a written summary of the student’s performance in Qualifying Exam, course and research work and a recommendation that the student be dismissed from the Ph.D. w88 online game. The w88 online game Director and Advisory/ Evaluation Committee will decide if the student’s work merits awarding a Master’s Degree or if the student should be dismissed from the CMB Graduate w88 online game. The final decision will be forwarded to the Graduate School. Per Graduate School policy, students cannot continue in the CMB Ph.D. w88 online game without passing the Qualifying Exam.

Thesis Requirements

Dissertation and Final Examination Requirements - Prior to choosing a date for the final oral examination, w88 online game students must submit a copy of their final dissertation for review by their examining committee. The dissertation does not have to be in its final form, but must contain sufficient information to allow their committee to make an informed decision about the state of completion of their studies. The purpose of the review is to discern whether a student has sufficiently completed their studies to schedule the public seminar and final examination.

The format of the dissertation must meet the requirements of the w88 online game School. If a student has first author publications accepted in refereed journals, the student may solicit the committee to use these publications together with an appropriate introductory chapter in lieu of the standard dissertation format.

The committee may determine that additional chapters are required along with the published papers. The thesis should be sent out to the examining committee at least four weeks prior to the date of the thesis defense.

Following acceptance of the dissertation by the Advisory/Examination Committee, all doctoral candidates in the CMB w88 online game will schedule and present a public research seminar on their dissertation research. This seminar will constitute part of the final examination and must be presented while the candidate is still in residence. Following the public seminar, the Advisory/Examination Committee will conduct a final oral examination in closed session. This oral examination will be conducted in accordance with the examination requirements of the Graduate School. Doctoral candidates may register for one credit of Independent Study during the semester in which this seminar is presented.

w88 online game Assistantships

All graduate students holding an assistantship (teaching GTA or GRA) are considered Nevada residents for tuition purposes. Non-resident tuition is only waived for the duration of the assistantship. To be eligible for an assistantship, students must be admitted to a degree-granting w88 online game and be in good academic standing. The student must have an overall GPA of at least 3.0 and must be continuously enrolled in at least 6 graduate level credits (600-700) throughout the duration of the assistantship. State-funded assistantships (GTA/GRA) may be held for a maximum of: five (5) years for doctoral degree students.

For more information on w88 online game assistantships please refer to:

w88 online game School's GA website

Health Insurance

All domestic degree seeking w88 online game students, who are enrolled in six or more credits (regardless of the course level) in a semester, will be automatically enrolled and billed for the University sponsored health insurance for each term they are eligible (fall & spring/summer). If a student has other comparable coverage and would like to waive out of the student health insurance, it is the student’s responsibility to complete the University online waiver formprior to the deadline. If approved, a health insurance waiver is good for the current academic year only. A new waiver must be submitted each academic year. All international w88 online game students are required to carry student health insurance, and the cost will be automatically added to your student account. Any international w88 online game students with insurance questions must contact the Office of w88 online casino Students and Scholarsdirectly.

Leave of Absence

Continuous Enrollment: To maintain “good standing” all w88 online game students are required to enroll in a minimum of three (3) w88 online game credits each fall and spring semester until they w88 online game. International students may be required to enroll in nine w88 online game credits each fall and spring semester depending on the requirements of their visa. All students holding assistantships (whether teaching or research assistantships) are required to enroll in a minimum of six (6) w88 online game credits each semester they hold the assistantship.

Leave of Absence: w88 online game in good standing may request a leave of absence by completing a Leave of Absence formavailable on the w88 online game School website during which time they are not required to maintain continuous registration. Usually, a leave of absence is approved for one or two semesters. The leave of absence request may be extended by the student filing an additional leave of absence form. Students applying for a leave of absence should not have any “incomplete” grades which could be changed to “F” and have a detrimental impact on their cumulative GPA. Requests for leave of absences must be received by the w88 online game School no later than the last day of enrollment for the semester the leave is to begin.

Reinstatement: When a w88 online game has been absent for one semester or more without an approved leave of absence, he or she may request reinstatement via the Reinstatement formavailable on the Graduate School website. This form allows the w88 online game the option to recommend the student be re-admitted to their graduate w88 online game based on their previous admission OR require the student to re-apply for admission which would require students to submit a new application for admission and pay the application fee. The Notice of Reinstatement to Gradate Standing must be received by the Graduate School no later than the last day of enrollment for the semester the reinstatement is to begin.

w88 online game Student Association

The w88 online game Student Association (GSA) Websiterepresents all w88 online game students and promotes the welfare and interests of the w88 online game students at the University of Nevada, Reno. The GSA works closely with appropriate university administrative offices, including the w88 online game School and Student Services and reports to the President of the University.

It is the w88 online game’s responsibility to fulfill all requirements in a timely manner.

Academic Requirements

Academic requirements as determined by the Graduate School and the w88 online game will be met by all CMB students. Required courses will be chosen from core courses as outlined in section (B) above.

General Procedures and Examination Requirements

During the second semester of residence in the CMB w88 online game, each student must select, in consultation with the CMB w88 online game director and the desired faculty member, a research/thesis advisor from among the CMB faculty. Selection depends on a mutual agreement between the student and the desired advisor, and the w88 online game cannot guarantee the availability of any particular advisor. This advisor will serve as chair of the student’s advisory/examination committee.
After having selected a research advisor, the student will arrange for two additional CMB group faculty to serve as an advisory/examination committee. At least one additional faculty will be appointed, representing the University at large, to meet Graduate School requirements. These additional appointments will be subject to approval of the committee chairperson (research/thesis advisor). Permanent constitution of the committee will be subject to the approval of the CMB Director. This committee will approve the final thesis, conduct the formal oral part of the thesis defense, and serve in an advisory capacity to the student during his or her tenure in the CMB w88 online game.

Thesis Examination Requirements

Prior to formally choosing a date for the final oral examination, w88 online game students must submit a copy of their final thesis for review by their examining committee. The thesis does not need to be in its final form, e.g. thoroughly referenced, perfect grammar, etc., but must contain sufficient information to allow their committee to make an informed decision about the state of completion of their studies. The purpose of the review is to discern whether a student has sufficiently completed their studies to announce a date for their final examination. After acceptance of the thesis (see Doctoral section for nature of thesis) by the advisory/examination committee, all M.S. candidates will schedule and present a research seminar on their thesis research which will be open to the public. This seminar will constitute part of the final examination and must be presented while the candidate is still in residence. Following the public portion of this seminar, the advisory/examination committee, expanded to include all appointed w88 online game School representatives, will conduct, in closed session, a final oral examination, which will be so conducted as to meet all relevant examination requirements of the w88 online game School.
