It might be useful to include information about faculty who hold graduate faculty status; the Graduate School Admission for Degree and Certificate Seeking Students policy (section 8) includes information specifically for faculty who hold graduate faculty appointments. https://www.etsu.edu/policies/documents/graduate_school_policies/graduate-school-admission-policy-for-degree-and-certificate-seeking-students.pdf

In the policy section, faculty or academic administrators “must seek prior approval”…but don't have to receive approval? What would be involved in ‘seeking’ approval?

In the policy section 1. Advance Approval - only the first part seems to be specific to ‘advance approval.’ The rest of it seems to be more related to what forms they might need to complete - but it doesn't specify that advance approval is needed for those.
