Summer Hours (May 18–August 14, 2026):
The Graduate School Office will not offer in-person services on Fridays. Virtual support remains available during regular business hours, and in-person services continue Monday–Thursday 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. as usual. We’re always here to help!

These pages describe how to address unusual circumstances of various kinds:

  • Graduate students who encounter difficulties beyond their control may request certain reasonable exceptions to Graduate School policies.
  • Graduate students may choose to appeal academic decisions such as their grades or scholastic standing; specific procedures and timelines are required.
  • Graduate Assistants may file grievances related to conditions of employment; this process is facilitated by the Labor Relations Coordinator and overseen by the Office of the Provost.
