Master's Degree Forms & Policies
International Travel Policy
International travel is increasingly important to our work. Our students are taking to heart our encouragement to study abroad. The University has developed this policy and the resources that support it in order to make the international travel experience more enjoyable and secure for the entire University community. The International Travel Policy/SPG #601.31 pertains to all faculty, staff, and students engaged in University-related international travel. It addresses the health, safety, and security of U-M travelers. This policy addresses the U-M Travel Registry; travel abroad health insurance; emergency evacuation insurance; U-M travel warnings or University travel restrictions; and international travel involving student groups.
University Travel Registry: All faculty, staff, and students traveling abroad must register their international travel in the Registry before departure. This confidential and secure database provides a convenient tool for the traveler and the department to coordinate travel details. It will also help the University locate you if an emergency situation arises.
Travel Abroad Health Insurance: All students traveling abroad are required to have travel abroad insurance coverage from the University's authorized vendor. Faculty and staff traveling internationally are covered under the University's blanket policy with that vendor.
Emergency Evacuation Insurance: All faculty, staff, and students traveling internationally are covered under a blanket policy for emergency evacuation due to political unrest or natural disaster.
University Travel Warnings or Travel Restrictions: This segment delineates policies pertaining to travel to destinations for which the University has issued a Travel Warning, and travel to destinations for which the University has issued a Travel Restriction.
International Travel Involving Student Groups: Includes specific requirements for University-sponsored travel abroad and student-initiated group travel abroad.

Doctoral Degree Forms & Policies
Academic Probation & Dismissal Policy
Policy for satisfactory academic progress, unsatisfactory academic standing, academic probation and dismissal from the Mathematics and AIM Ph.D. programs
Approved by the Mathematics Department Executive Committee: October 17, 2018
Ph.D. Program Requirements for the Mathematics Ph.D. and AIM Ph.D. programs, and required timelines for achieving them, are available on the math department webpage and in printed form from the graduate office. Requirements are discussed with each student by staff and faculty at advising appointments, informational meetings, and through written communication.
The policy for academic progress, unsatisfactory academic standing, academic probation, and dismissal from the Mathematics and AIM Ph.D. programs will be communicated in writing to each student upon arrival for orientation at the University before beginning their first semester. It is also posted on the department website.
Satisfactory progress.
To remain in good standing and achieve satisfactory progress, pre-candidate students meet with the chair of the doctoral committee or AIM director after each attempt at any Qualifying Review exam to discuss their academic performance, and each semester after that to discuss their progress towards selecting a PhD advisor. Then, the student will meet regularly with their advisor to discuss their progress toward the degree. In addition, all student progress is reviewed annually by the doctoral committee (Math) or AIM committee (AIM). Students are informed in writing each May whether their progress is deemed satisfactory or unsatisfactory after that review.
Unsatisfactory academic standing, academic probation and dismissal.
Students are notified in writing immediately when they have failed to achieve any of the required milestones described in the Mathematics Graduate Brochure (or online) or when their progress is otherwise deemed insufficient by the doctoral committee, AIM committee or other relevant faculty. This assessment is based on written evaluations of student work provided by instructors/advisors after each semester, and any other evidence gathered, including conversations with relevant faculty. The written notification of unsatisfactory progress will include an invitation for the student to discuss their progress and strategies for success with the Doctoral Committee chair or AIM director.
In the following cases, the student may be placed on academic probation:
1. Failure to make progress or pass the Qualifying Review by the prescribed deadlines described in the Program Requirements.
2. Failure to achieve candidacy by the end of the third year.
3. Failure to continue making progress toward the degree with a designated thesis advisor once candidacy has been achieved.
The decision to place a pre-candidate on probation will be made by the doctoral committee or AIM committee; for candidates, the decision will be made by a faculty group of at least three faculty, normally including Associate Chair for Graduate Studies, the Doctoral Committee chair or AIM Director, and the student’s advisor (if any). The probationary period will normally conclude at the end of the semester it is imposed, but in no case will it be shorter than two months. The Associate Chair for Graduate Studies will notify the student and Rackham Office of Academic Records and Dissertations (OARD) in writing before the probationary period begins, explaining the reasons and conditions of probation, the start and end dates of the probationary period, and options for appeal. The financial commitment to the individual student will not be altered by the probation.
A student who has been placed on probation may request a leave of absence or withdraw from the program. The leave or withdrawal will stop the clock on the probationary period, which resumes when the student returns to active status or is reinstated. Probation will remain in effect until the conditions are remedied or the student is dismissed.
At the end of probation, and upon the recommendation of the Associate Chair for Graduate Studies and the consent of the Graduate School, a student may either be returned to good academic standing, be dismissed from the program or have the probation extended. The decision to dismiss a student will be made by a faculty group of at least three faculty, normally the doctoral committee or AIM committee in consultation with the Associate Chair for Graduate Studies. The student and Rackham OARD will be informed of the recommendation of dismissal, and of the policy for appealing the decision.
Appealing academic probation or dismissal.
If a student chooses to appeal the decision to be placed on academic probation or to be dismissed, the department will convene a separate committee to review their case. Students may use the Graduate School’s Academic Dispute Resolution process only for procedural issues of fair and equal treatment under the policy of the program, and not to appeal the academic reasons for the decision.
Students who fail to meet standards of academic or professional integrity or who have been found responsible for violations of other University standards of conduct may be dismissed in accordance with separate procedures described in Rackham Academic and Professional Policy (Section 8).
Extended Time to Degree - COVID
Plan for Extension of Support for Current Doctoral Students - Approved 12/8/2020
The administration of the mathematics department has engaged with our constituency to develop this plan. While our overall strategy for supporting our graduate students is not changing dramatically, our methods for drawing in many resources to review our plan have changed. Our plan has been developed and reviewed by our Associate Chair for Graduate Studies, Doctoral Chair, and AIM Program Director in coordination with our Chief Administrator and Director of Student Services. Our graduate student group (GSAC) provided substantial feedback as well.
We identify students that may need support/time beyond their five-year guarantee in several ways. Faculty counselors and advisors meet with students several times a year. Our graduate coordinator meets with each student three times a year (once per term). We also ask the students to let us know about their specific funding plans/concerns three times a year (once per term). Notes from these meetings are kept in a central file. In this way, we are tracking each student throughout their career and have an understanding of our total funding picture. Furthermore, students can report disruptions and concerns utilizing this Google form at any time of the year. This will continue to help us identify and prioritize extending support for students even during the disruptions caused by the pandemic. We have communicated to our students that extra time to complete milestones may be allowed and plan to remain in regular communication with them as the pandemic continues. We will continue to assist our graduate students individually and in groups. We have created a method to support our students by engaging each of them individually each semester. During COVID, engagement is more difficult so we have reached out to our student groups to seek their recommendations on keeping in touch especially with those who may have more difficulty with remote learning. For those students requesting a leave of absence and those stranded overseas due to travel restrictions and/or suspensions of visa services, we will continue to make a concerted effort to keep in touch with them, to help them to rejoin and complete their programs.
Our current funding package for our students is five years of support (GSI, GSRA, Fellowship). As our time to degree has increased to approximately 5.5 years to degree, we have shifted our funding planning to anticipate half of our Ph.D. students will need at least an extra semester of support with the majority of those needing a sixth year receiving a full year of support. With the pandemic, the move to online teaching has created a nontrivial burden on our students. There may be more students needing a sixth year which would mean that to provide all with a full year of support, we would need some fellowships in Winter terms as our teaching needs are greatly reduced in Winter. We estimate at least five additional Winter terms of fellowship may be required. Given the fact that many students defend during the summer, we may also require five terms of tuition exceptions or ask that Rackham waive tuition for the spring/summer terms.
In Mathematics, the Ph.D. student numbers are calculated along with the number of teaching postdoctoral faculty hired. We cannot simply reduce the number of postdoctoral faculty in order to accommodate more GSIs: while some of the teaching load of our postdoctoral faculty is in the introductory math program, we also need them to teach the more advanced mathematics courses that cannot be taught by GSIs. These needs have become especially acute as we are currently short of several tenure-track faculty positions that remain unfilled due to the hiring freeze. In addition, our postdoctoral faculty typically move to tenure-track positions and with those jobs almost non-existent in the near term, we have to consider their needs as well.
We will commit to guaranteeing all current fifth-year students in good standing and with the support of their advisor, one additional term of funding in Fall 2021 with the likelihood of funding accommodation in Winter 2022. This funding will likely take the form of a GSI appointment. On the rare occasion that one is not available, we will use Block Grant, LSA funding, or Endowment funding to cover tuition, benefits, and stipend. Students beyond this additional guaranteed term of support with reported cases of COVID-related hardship may apply for an extra term of support; we will evaluate these requests on a case-by-case basis. We will work toward similar arrangements for subsequent cohorts affected by COVID-19, with details dependent upon how the situation develops.
In all cases, requests for additional term(s) of funding will be allocated upon approval of the Associate Chair of Graduate Studies (ACGS). Students may request additional term(s) of funding utilizing this Google form. This approval will be given after consultation with the doctoral committee and the faculty advisor, along with confirmation of relevant funding availability with the administration. Considerations will include research progress, academic standing, and length of disruption experienced. Decisions will ordinarily be made within two weeks, in line with Rackham’s expedited dispute resolution process.
Plan for Future Admissions Decisions
For Fall 2021, we anticipate a moderate reduction in doctoral admissions (compared to our average of 26), with a target yield of 20-23 incoming Ph.D. students. We remain committed to reviewing each application holistically to maintain excellence and diversity in our programs. GRE scores are not required for at least the upcoming admissions cycle. We recognize that disruptions caused by the pandemic and social upheaval disproportionately affect certain segments of the population. We will continue to admit (and recruit) highly qualified RMF-eligible applicants into our MLB program as well as directly into our Ph.D. programs. As the pipeline to recruit a diverse population is limited, we are actively deploying proven approaches towards successful recruitment of URMs and women. One such example is the Graduate Research Opportunities for Women (GROW) conference, which was hosted by our department in 2018. GROW is an annual conference/workshop aimed at female-identified undergraduate students who may be interested in pursuing a graduate degree in mathematics. Other initiatives that we participate in include Math SWAGGER (Summer Workshop for Achieving Greater Graduate Educational Readiness), paraDIGMS (Diversity in Graduate Mathematical Sciences), and TPSE Math (Transforming Post-Secondary Education in Mathematics). We recruit our students aggressively. In the past few years, we have included several dozen of our postdoctoral faculty and other non-committee members to review applications. Each applicant file is reviewed carefully. We are able to thus take special note of applicants from diverse socioeconomic and educational backgrounds, with diverse ethnic and gender representation. While the numbers of applicants from this group of students are small, we work together to spend time to recruit those we estimate having the best chance for success at Michigan. Out of 18 students enrolling with the Fall 2020 cohort, 8 were women and 1 was from an underrepresented minority group. We hope to take advantage of the reduced admissions across the country for Fall 2021 to have even greater success in our efforts.
GSI Absence/Travel Policy
The Michigan Math Department supports our graduate students’ research and teaching careers. It is important for graduate students to be able to advance their research careers by going to conferences and workshops. At the same time, graduate students are often employed as GSIs, with responsibilities toward their own students, the colleagues with whom they are teaching, and our educational mission more broadly. Having instructors teaching their own classes for as many days as possible during the semester is important for building a relationship of trust and providing students with personalized support. The department has a responsibility to support the undergraduates who are taught by our GSIs, and to support the Introductory Program (105/115/116) as a whole. This policy is an attempt to create a balanced system that takes all of these things into account.
GSIs teaching 105/115/116
Precandidates: Allowed 1 missed class per semester, for any reason (including a conference), as long as:
● the absence does not occur during the period starting on the Friday before an exam through the completion of exam grading for the course,
● the student submits an email to the course coordinator at least 24 hours in advance, and
● the instructor has found a suitable substitute.
The GSI and the substitute must mutually work out compensation. No approval is needed for this absence.
Candidates: Allowed 1 missed class per semester, for any reason (including a conference), and 1 additional missed class for a conference or workshop, as long as:
● the absences do not occur during the period starting on the Friday before an exam through the completion of exam grading for the course,
● the student submits an email to the course coordinator at least 24 hours in advance, and
● the instructor has found a suitable substitute.
The GSI and the substitute must mutually work out compensation. No approval is needed for these absences, and they can be consecutive to allow the GSI to attend a longer conference.
GSIs teaching 215/216
Allowed 1 missed class day (four labs) per semester, for any reason (including a conference), as long as:
● the absence does not occur during the period starting on the Friday before an exam through the completion of exam grading for the course,
● the student submits an email to the course coordinator at least 24 hours in advance, and
● the instructor has found a suitable substitute.
The GSI and the substitute must mutually work out compensation. The GSI is responsible for keeping up with all grading responsibilities during their absence. No approval is needed for this absence.
GSIs teaching Other Courses in the Math Department should make arrangements with their direct supervisor. GSI positions outside math are not included in this policy.
Additional/Extended Absences
When a GSI would like to attend a conference or other event that does not fall under the above guidelines, they can request permission by submitting an email to the course coordinator as soon as possible but at least four weeks before the requested absence. With their request, they should include the name of a faculty member who supports the travel, as well as the plans they have made to make sure their students get the attention they need during the absence The request will be reviewed by the course coordinator, in consultation with the Associate Chair for Education and the Associate Chair for Graduate Studies, as needed, and the student will be informed as soon as possible, but within one week, whether or not permission to miss work for the conference will be granted.
Absences due to emergency or illness are not subject to this policy. For emergency leave including sick leave, bereavement leave and immigration proceedings leave, see the GEO contract.
Informing the Department of an Absence / Requesting an Extended Absence
All GSIs who will be missing their teaching responsibilities under the conditions of this policy must inform the department by emailing their course coordinator. Failure to do so may result in future exclusion from the allowances in the policy.
Substitutes
Any instructor who has taught the course previously or is currently teaching the course is considered a suitable substitute with the following exception: Math 115 classes covering sections 2.4, 4.1, 4.2 need to be covered by an instructor who has previously taught Math 115.
To request a subsititute, please email request-mathgrad-sub@umich.edu. If a GSI needs help finding a substitute beyond the request system, they can contact the course coordinator of their course for assistance.
Substitute Pay: Rules & Procedures
- Once a substitute has been found, the following information is needed to process the request for sub pay: the reason for the sub request (illness, conference, bereavement, etc.), the sub's name, the course to be covered, and the date/time/hours covered. Please email this information to math-intro-admin@umich.edu.
- Subtitutes will only be paid for someone who is absent due to jury duty, sick leave, bereavement leave, or immigration proceedings.
- Graduate students may also sub for a postdoc for the reasons above for additional pay.
- Subs are only be paid for actual teaching hours, not prep time.
- Subs will be paid the hourly contract rate for GSIs.
- International Students hired as a GSI or GSRA may not receive additional pay for subbing because they already work the maximum 20 hours per week allowed to international students.
- NSF and RMF (RSA) students may not work more than 10 hours per week during semesters receiving fellowship support.
Office Hours
During their absence, GSIs are expected to arrange for their office hours, including their Math Lab hour, to be held by a substitute, or to reschedule these hours to a date shortly before or after their absence.
Advanced Notice
The department works hard to try to optimize the configuration of GSIs working in the department in any given semester. As a part of this process, it is important that GSIs inform the Introductory Program Directors before teaching assignments are made if there are conferences they are seriously considering attending. In some cases, this will allow the GSI to be given an assignment that minimizes the effect of their absence on the undergraduates taking our classes, and the effect on the Introductory Program as a whole. Requests that are made in advance are easier to accommodate, so may be more likely to be approved.

GSI Office Assignment Policy
Graduate Student Office Assignment Policy
Adopted 7/7/2022
Due to the removal and addition of new office spaces in East Hall, the placement of graduate students in offices will adhere to the procedure below.
Please note: Out of respect for office mates doing homework or research, it is best practice for Graduate Student Instructors to book a classroom in which to hold office hours rather than holding office hours in their graduate student office.
Master’s Degree students will be given a key to a shared office in B082. Desks are provided, but should not be claimed by individual students. Please wipe down the desk with an antibacterial wipe after use to maintain a healthy environment for others using the common office.
First year Ph.D. and MLB students will be assigned to the group office in 5080 East Hall which has individual desk space, common bookshelves, chalkboards, a refrigerator, a microwave, hardwood floors, and upper windows that do not open.
Premium Offices (2867, 3867, and 4867) have large windows and space for 7 people. Priority will be given to those groups who have not been previously assigned to a premium office.
The process for assigning offices for these students is as follows:
- In April/May, the Graduate Coordinator sends an email to math-grads@umich.edu requesting office preference information from PhD and MLB students.
- Each student indicates their preferred officemates and location, as well as their priorities of premium office/officemates/remaining-in-current-office.
- Every effort is made to match students with preferences.Students who do not list preferences are placed wherever there is space available.
- Once completed, the office assignments are distributed to students along with moving instructions.

QR Deadlines Addendum Winter 2020 (COVID-19)
Adopted 3/17/2020
Due to the necessity of remote teaching and learning caused by the COVID 19 pandemic, University of Michigan AIM and Math PhD students will be given one extra term to meet QR deadlines. This accommodation will be given to PhD students entering their program in Winter 2020, Fall 2019, and Fall 2018.
Regular Math PhD Deadlines: Students must pass at least one QR exam by the start of their fourth term. For example, a student entering the doctoral program in the Fall of 2019 must pass the QR examination in at least one area by early January 2021. The Qualifying Review must be completed by the start of the 6th term. For example, the same student entering the doctoral program in the Fall of 2019 must pass the QR examination in at least one area by early January 2021, and complete the remaining requirements for the Qualifying Review by early January 2022.
Math PhD Special Deadlines: Students must pass at least one QR exam at the end of their fourth term. For example, a student entering the doctoral program in the Fall of 2019 must pass the QR examination in at least one area by May 2021. The Qualifying Review must be completed at the end of their 6th term. For example, the same student entering the doctoral program in the Fall of 2019 must pass the QR examination in at least one area by May 2021, and complete the remaining requirements for the Qualifying Review by May 2022.
Regular AIM PhD Deadlines: Incoming students must sign up to take two exams prior to beginning their coursework. Students not passing the exams on the first attempt will receive counseling regarding options (for example, remedial coursework) for enabling future success. The AIM Qualifying Review Examinations are offered twice each school year, once prior to the start of classes in the Fall semester and again prior to the start of classes in the Winter semester. Successful AIM Ph.D. students will pass two exams within three attempts, that is, by the beginning of the second year of study. Unsuccessful students may continue in the program for one further year to complete an AIM Master's degree.

Successful AIM Ph.D. students will pass two exams within four attempts, that is, by the beginning of the fourth semester of study. Unsuccessful students may continue in the program for one further year to complete an AIM Master's degree.
Rackham Graduate School Academic Policies
All Department of Mathematics graduate students are subject to our Rackham Graduate School's Academic Policies and Regulations.
The graduate programs of the Rackham Graduate School are located in the schools, colleges, and departments of the University of Michigan. The academic policies and regulations in this document have been established by the Rackham Executive Board to ensure consistent standards in admissions, registration, degree requirements, and the awarding of degrees across all Rackham graduate programs. Individual graduate programs have additional requirements and rules. Students are expected to be familiar with both the policies of the Graduate School and those of their programs.
The Graduate School maintains an academic, scholarly, and professional code of conduct to safeguard standards of learning, research, and professional integrity. Students are expected to understand and observe these standards. In conjunction with the schools and colleges, the Graduate School has procedures for investigating allegations of misconduct and imposing sanctions.
Some Ph.D. Specific Policies are listed below.
Rackham's Continuous Enrollment Policy
Once admitted to a PhD program, students will register every fall and winter term until their degree is awarded, unless they are taking an official leave of absence. Students must be registered for 8 credits of Math 995 during the term of the dissertation defense.
Events may occur that make it necessary for a student pursuing a PhD to interrupt his or her progress toward a degree. Since students in PhD programs are required to be continuously enrolled, they may ask for a temporary leave of absence when certain life events make impossible continued active participation in the degree program. A leave of absence enables a student to not register during a fall or winter term and remain in compliance with the continuous enrollment requirement. A leave will be granted to students for illness or injury, to provide care or assistance for family and dependents, to meet military service obligations, or for other personal reasons. The official Leave of Absence Policy is maintained by the Rackham Graduate School. Additional information can be found on the Leave of Absence webpage.
A Ph.D. student who discontinues enrollment in Spring/Summer 2012 or later and subsequently is reinstated into the same program will be assessed a fee equal to one quarter of the prevailing candidacy tuition rate for each fall and winter semester that the student was not registered, up to a maximum of eight semesters. Students who discontinued their enrollment at any time prior to Spring/Summer 2012 are not subject to this fee. Responsibility for paying the reinstatement fee will be split between the graduate student seeking to re-enroll and the graduate program that agrees to reinstate the student, such that the graduate program will pay at least half of the fee. For additional information, please visit Rackham's Reinstatement to a Ph.D. webpage.
Extramural Study
A student who enrolls at another institution to pursue study relevant to the PhD in a period that overlaps substantially with a University fall or winter term may be eligible for extramural study status (extramural study is not an appropriate status for a student who is engaged in fieldwork or archival research, or who has an internship but is not enrolled in a formal course of study at another institution). The official Extramural Study Policy is maintained by the Rackham Graduate School. Additional information can be found on the Extramural Study webpage.
Travel Fund Policy
The Mathematics Department Travel Fund is intended to make professional trips possible for Mathematics Ph.D. graduate students without other sources of funding. Students are required to request funding from the Rackham Graduate School and from their faculty advisor before requesting funds from the Department.
Requests to make use of this fund should be made to the Associate Chair for Graduate Students via this application form. One trip per student during their academic training will normally be approved by the Associate Chair or Chair, subject to availability of funding. A student must have achieved candidacy and should not be beyond the fifth year of training.
Travel that will typically be supported includes conferences and meetings that support the career of the student as a mathematician or educator, e.g., where the student is making a presentation or participating in a panel or administrative meeting. The purpose of the trip should be documented at the time of application for funding, e.g., by a copy of a letter of invitation.
Reimbursements are limited to a maximum of $750 for trips in the continental United States and Canada and $1,000 for international trips or trips to Hawaii and Alaska. Expenses incurred for transportation, lodging, registration, and miscellaneous expenses permitted under University guidelines may be requested, but not expenses for meals.
Cases where there is an issue of eligibility or of sufficiency of funding should be brought to the Executive Committee.
Approved and adopted in final form by the Executive Committee, February 13, 2020.
NOTE: In accordance with U-M SPG 507.10-1, requests must be submitted within 45 days of travel.
