The goal of a Group Expectations Document is to describe the group’s mission, responsibilities of the faculty member, expectations of group members including working hours and graduation requirements (e.g., minimum number of manuscripts), the faculty member’s values, and other information the faculty member feels is important for graduate students to know before joining their group.

All Chemistry faculty are required to have their group expectations documents publicly accessible for current Chemistry department members, including graduate students and faculty. Some faculty have chosen to make their group expectations documents publicly accessible, with no NetID authentication required. Other faculty have chosen to make their documents accessible in Box by NetID authentication.
