Typically, the advisory committee must consist of a minimum of three graduate faculty members. Often, at least one committee member beyond the advisor will be from the University of Guelph CCAP graduate faculty. This committee should be formed no later than the 20th class day of the student's second registered semester.  

After the committee is formed, it is recommended that the student, their Advisor, and the committee members discuss the expectations for that particular committee (e.g., does the committee plan to have regular meetings, when does the student expect to have a proposal meeting?, etc.).
