Graduate Student Guides
Graduate Student Handbook
The Graduate Handbook sets forth the governing policies and principles behind the various graduate programs housed in the Department of English.
A printed copy of this handbook is provided to each incoming graduate student before his or her first semester. The document continues to be updated, however, and the electronic copies available here may supersede any print version of the handbook.

Semester to Semester Guidelines
The following semester-to-semester guidelines contain important deadline information to help keep graduate students on track for graduation. The guidelines also include recommendations made in consultation with faculty and the Associate Chair for Graduate Studies that are intended to help graduate students situate themselves in their studies and to keep the long view as they complete their degree. The guidelines are designed to be used alongside faculty and staff advisement, Graduate Studies published deadlines and supplemental materials, and the English Department's Deadlines Document and Graduate Handbook.
