The following materials must be submitted as a complete packet when using a non-typical committee member.

1. A letter of request from the Department Chairperson or Graduate Program Director with supporting signature from the Dean or Associate Dean of the College, to be sent to the Dean of the Graduate School. This letter will request that the individual serve on any student committee OR on a specific student’s committee and state why this person is appropriate (e.g. special expertise).
2. A letter from the individual summarizing his/her background and qualifications to serve as a member of a graduate student committee.
3. A copy of the individual’s C.V.
4. Two letters of reference that speak to the individual’s qualifications to serve on graduate students' committees. (One letter may be from an MSU faculty member, but at least one letter must be from an external source.)

In general, no more than one non-typical committee member may serve on an M.S. committee and no more than two on a doctoral committee.
