Information on the administrators and offices responsible for graduate education is available in the section Administration of Graduate Education . The List of Graduate Programs has links to the home pages of the individual graduate programs, with information on faculty research interests, course offerings, and admissions information. Other Academic Facilities has information on other resources critical to the success of graduate students, including our research institutes and centers, the Library, information technology systems, and the Career Planning and Placement Service that assists students in managing their careers while here and with placement at graduation. The Online Graduate Catalog has links to campus and local resources to assist in numerous non-academic concerns that affect the quality of life for new and continuing graduate students, and to information on tuition rates, academic and graduation calendars, and other resources. The Graduate Academic Rules and Regulations define the minimal standards that must be met by all students, regardless of graduate group.
Students are responsible for seeing that they have met the requirements for graduation.
In this catalog, we try to provide the general academic and related information that many graduate students have found of importance in terms of their applications and their studies here. If you need additional information, or clarification of information included here, your academic advisor and your graduate group chair should be your first contacts. If they cannot resolve the matter for you, they will usually know who can. While students may contact their dean's office or this office with questions, it is usually easier to find answers and solutions within your own graduate group.
