All University research involving human subjects, use of animals, radiation or radiological materials, or biohazardous materials must be reviewed and approved by the appropriate University committee(s) before the research is started. Graduate students are, with the assistance of their advisers, responsible for obtaining the necessary approval for their research. Verification of approval must be submitted to the School of Graduate Studies Office before the student's master's Program of Study or doctoral Application for Candidacy can be approved. For further information, contact the School of Graduate Studies Office or the Office of the Vice President for Research.
