This page curates the departmental and university resources for graduate student success.
Resources for Current Graduate Students
Department Graduate Student Handbook
Many common graduate student questions are answered in the Department’s Graduate Student Handbook, updated at least once each year.
Advising and Mentoring Resources
Graduate students meeting with their advisers or advisory committees may also wish to make use of GSAS guidance on advising and mentoring, including the “Guide to Advising Processes for Faculty and Students” booklet. In addition, the Anthropology Department has put together subfield-specific, year-by-year guidance that can serve as a quick reference to the policies described in the Graduate Student Handbook.
