Advising

Graduate Advising

Graduate students should address questions about processes and procedures to the graduate coordinators of the College and the professional schools. Academic and research specific questions should be addressed to faculty advisors. Please stay in regular communication with your advisors as this situation develops, particularly if you are concerned about your grades. Your advisor will be able to provide the most direct and specific guidance about your options, which may include taking an Incomplete in required degree courses or switching to credit/no credit courses that do not fulfill degree requirements.

Additional information about research, grading, and exams, as well as guidelines and protocols for GTAs, GRAs, GAs, and student hourlies, can be found on the Graduate Studies website, which is being developed as a hub of information and campus communications that may be useful to graduate students as they navigate this semester.

Advising for international graduate students regarding their immigration status, travel, and housing is available via the office of International Support Services. ISS is regularly updating their FAQ page for students, which features guidelines for what students should do if they suspect they have COVID-19, information about online learning, considerations for staying or leaving Lawrence, and answers to other general questions as well as links to additional resources.
