GRADUATE STUDIES
Welcome to the Department of Psychology Graduate Student Handbook. It is designed to assist you in progressing through your graduate degree program and to provide you with associated instructions and documentation along the way. Key components have been given their own page to clearly outline the details associated with that step in the process and includes the specific form where applicable. Many of our forms are also available in the Forms at a Glance page.
Our Handbook is a living document and we welcome your assistance in including any/all information that you the student expect to find in a Handbook. If you cannot find a detail or explanation of a process associated with your degree in this Handbook please contact the PSYC Grad Office and we will work together to enhance our Handbook with that new information.
