In addition, as a unit in contact with all graduate departments and programs but tied to none, it works to maintain fairness in the enforcement of standards and policies. " To inform: It serves as an infor- mation clearinghouse for faculty, staff, and students, concerning records- related policies, procedures, and regulations. " To record: As the repository for graduate academic records, it main- tains pertinent data on ~all Rackham graduate students. These are: NCFD Students (those Not a Candidate for a Degree), master's level students, in- termediate level students (those working on professional degrees? Specialist in Education, Certificate of Gradaute Studies in Mathematics, and the professional Engineer degrees), pre-candidates (students admitted to a doctoral program but not yet admitted to Candidacy in that program), and candidates (doctoral students who have received a Certificate of Candidacy from the Graduate School after. recommendation by their department).

Academic Appeals.

These appeal procedures are described in the Graduate School Bulletin (Regulations Handbook), and copies of the procedures are available in Room 166. Graduate Academic Records Office. This office has three primary fun- ctions: " To maintain standards: In cooperation with the several depart- ment and programs it works to main- tain the standards set by the Executive Office of Non-Academic Career Counseling and Placement. In Septem-p ber 1976, the U-M established the Office of Non-Academic Career Counseling and Placement for Graduate Students. It is headed by James J. Krolik and is part of the Office of Career Planning, and Placement. Supported by the Rackham Graduate School, the Rackham Student Government, the Of- fice of the Vice President for Student Services, the Office of Career Planning and Placement, and an initial small grant from the Sloan Foundation, it is designed to help students make the transition from the academic environ- ment to the worlds of business, in- dustry, and government. Graduate Career Counseling's typical clients are graduate students in the humanities or social sciences who have not yet become doctoral can didates. According to Mr. Krolik, these are students who "are exploring career options while completing thgeir degree or who have made a decision to leave their academic program." In addition # undergraduates, Ph.D. candidates, alumni, faculty, and staff use the ser- vice. 4 . . d/ 4 ji Only five more to go. and you'll have all your books.
