Graduate Coordinators
The graduate coordinator serves a vital role in graduate education at UNLV. Graduate coordinators are the primary point of contact for graduate education in the academic departments. Though the responsibilities of the graduate coordinators vary among departments and graduate programs, graduate coordinators are generally responsible for overseeing the admissions, matriculation, and graduation requirements for graduate students in their departments in coordination with the Graduate College.
Graduate coordinators also oversee the day-to-day operations of graduate programs in their departments. This may include:
- graduate student recruitment
- graduate student admission, enrollment progression, and graduation
- assignment and supervision of graduate assistants
- development and implementation of mentorship and professional development programming
Through their appointment to the Graduate Council, graduate coordinators also serve as the liaison between academic graduate programs and the Graduate College. They serve on Graduate College committees as well, providing advice and counsel to the Graduate College dean on a variety of issues.
