2024 self-evaluations are now live

Graduate students must complete a self-evaluation every Spring to reflect on and assess their progress in their program. 2024 self-evaluations are now available to complete. You have until Tuesday, April 30, 2024 at 11:59 PM to complete your self evaluation.

What you'll find here

  • Important policies (both university-wide and departmental)
  • Guidance and timelines for program-specific processes (QPs, dissertations, MA theses, program requirements, detailed sample schedules, etc.)
  • Forms and internal tasks (add/drop forms, advisor change requests, QP extensions, annual graduate student self-evaluations, etc.)
  • FAQs (compiled from questions you and your peers have asked over the last year)
  • Course information, offering history, credit policies, etc.
  • And so much more!

Research opportunities and faculty leaves

Beginning in fall 2024, we will publish a department activity report.

The department activity report will be published prior to each semester, and it will showcase current research going on in the department, potential opportunities to be involved in research, and advance notice of faculty leaves.
