Graduate Student Handbook

Graduate Student Handbook

The primary reference for rules and regulations regarding graduate students is The University of Georgia Graduate Policies. This Department of Chemistry handbook summarizes some of the more important rules from the Bulletin and clarifies their application for Chemistry students. Additional rules above and beyond those specified by the Graduate School are also outlined here, especially those regarding specific course requirements and deadlines. Questions regarding these requirements may be referred to the Graduate Coordinator or to the Graduate Program Administrator. If further information is required, the Graduate Coordinator or the Graduate Program Administrator will contact the Graduate School on your behalf

Requirements for Ph.D. Degree

Any questions concerning these requirements should be addressed first to the research advisor (if one has been chosen) and then to the Graduate Coordinator. Students should become familiar with the Graduate School requirements in the Graduate School Policies.
