Outside Examiner Selection and Approval Process:
In concert with the University guidelines, the Dean of the Graduate School appoints
an Outside Examiner (OE) to all doctoral dissertation committees as the representative
of the faculty of the Graduate School. The OE appointment is based on the recommendation
received from the Graduate Director and/or the Chair of the student鈥檚 dissertation
committee. The Outside Examiner reads the dissertation and participates fully as a
dissertation-examining committee member during the dissertation defense. The Outside
Examiner's primary function is to render an independent judgment and assure that the
dissertation satisfies Graduate School standards.
Choosing a Suitable Outside Examiner
The Outside Examiner is either a Binghamton faculty member from a related area outside
the student's major program, department or division, or someone from a related discipline
outside the University. Further details regarding the qualifications/experiences of
a suitable candidate for this role are available online at:
The Nomination Process
In an effort to streamline the process, the Graduate School provides two avenues for
nominating/selecting Outside Examiners:
I. Selection from a Pre-Approved List
The Graduate School has compiled the list of Binghamton faculty members that have
previously served as Outside Examiners (See the list below). The list does not include
鈥渟pecial appointments made for particular circumstances鈥. In addition, it does not
include retirees. Selecting someone from this list allows for a faster approval process.
To do so, Graduate Directors should send an email to gad@binghamton.edu.
II. Selection via the Nomination Form
If the nominee is not on the pre-approved list or is from a different university,
please proceed with the completion of the nomination form found under "Forms for Faculty
and Staff."
**If the nominee is from another institution, the Graduate Director should forward
the nominee's academic credentials, including a vita, to gad@binghamton.edu to be
evaluated along with the form.
Timing of Nomination of Outside Examiners
Graduate Directors are required to submit all OE requests to the Graduate School no later than one (1) month before the scheduled dissertation defense date. This provides ample time to review the nomination and allows time for advisors to
secure additional/alternative examiners, if required.
