==== Scope ====

The SoCS PhD in Computational Sciences focuses on research in the overlapping areas of Computer Science and other disciplines. The School welcomes faculty from other areas to be appointed to the PHD.CSCI program and serve as Advisors and members of Advisory or Examination Committees.

This regulation deals with the appointment and status maintenance of graduate faculty members as Regular, Associated or Special Graduate Faculty in the PHD.CSCI program by the SoCS Graduate Committee. Whether a faculty member can act as Advisor or Advisory Committee member is determined by the PHD.CSCI Regulation on Advisory Committee. It is outside the scope of this Regulation.

All SoCS Regular Graduate Faculty members are Regular Graduate Faculty of the PHD.CSCI program. Any non-SoCS Regular Graduate Faculty of University of Guelph can be appointed to Regular Graduate Faculty of the PHD.CSCI program. The initial appointment is normally associated with taking the role of Advisor of a PHD.CSCI student.

==== Associated Graduate Faculty ====

Anyone qualified for appointment as Associated Graduate Faculty of University of Guelph can be appointed to Associated Graduate Faculty of the PHD.CSCI program. The appointment can be made once Associated Graduate Faculty status with the University has been conferred.

Nomination of a Regular or Associated Graduate Faculty member of the PHD.CSCI program is typically made by a SoCS Advisor. Nominees must meet the requirements to serve as Advisor that are found in the PHD.CSCI Regulation on Advisory Committee. The nomination 
must be accompanied by an up-to-date CV of the candidate and a justification by the nominator in relation to the role of the candidate in the PHD.CSCI program.

A non-SoCS faculty member is appointed to Regular or Associated Graduate Faculty of the PHD.CSCI program for a four year term. Renewal of such an appointment must be approved by SoCS Graduate Committee based on a report which outlines the member’s contribution to the PHD.CSCI program in the previous term.

Faculty who are nominated as Regular or Associated Graduate Faculty members in the PHD.CSCI program can opt to list their names in the calendar entry for the program. The choice is based on whether they are interested in and anticipating supervising future PHD.CSCI students, or only wish to act as Advisor of a single student. Such preference is to be indicated at the time of and with the nomination.
