Graduate Student Handbook

The Graduate Student Handbook was developed by the Department of Biological Sciences' Graduate Affairs Committee, in order to provide guidance on the paperwork and procedures that must be followed in order to remain in good standing and graduate in a timely fashion. All graduate students are responsible for the information contained in the Graduate Student Handbook.
