The center of information and assistance for graduate students is the Office of Graduate Studies. The office reviews applications for admission, candidacy forms and program plans, comprehensive examinations, applications for graduation, graduate assistantships, and maintains graduate student records.

The Graduate Office, open weekdays, except holidays, coordinates graduate programs. The Graduate Council (an advisory group of graduate faculty) provides guidance and recommendations for graduate programs. Inquiries on specific program requirements should be addressed to the department chairperson or program director of the degree-sponsoring department.
