This handbook has been prepared by the Graduate Adviser and staff of the Department of Educational Psychology to help Educational Psychology students progress through their degree programs as smoothly as possible. Students should always reference the latest version of the handbook webpages, as most procedural changes will affect students regardless of cohort year.
Although this handbook is an excellent resource, it does not include complete information about area of specialization requirements. Your faculty adviser will be able to assist you with area requirements not covered in this handbook (requirements are also on each area’s webpage).
This handbook also does not contain complete and important information covered by the General Information Catalog and the Graduate Catalog. In addition, the Graduate School website contains many rules graduate students must follow, so becoming familiar with that site is important.
Students are responsible for understanding the rules and policies that govern their academic degrees and the processes involved to ensure successful academic progress to degree. The University catalogs and this handbook will assist in that process. You are advised to use all resources available to you and to plan well in advance to meet necessary deadlines.
If you and your faculty adviser cannot find the answer to your question in available resources, the Graduate Adviser and Graduate Coordinator are available to assist you.
