Student
Handbook
The Graduate Student Handbook is designed to
bring together in one document the most critical information that students need
as they pursue graduate studies in the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures.
In addition to reviewing Department academic programs, policies and procedures,
it culls critical information from a wide variety of sources published by the
Graduate Division and other University agencies, whose formulations are legally
binding.
The Handbook is a dynamic document, one that
will be reviewed and revised as necessary from year to year. Comments about the
contents and suggestions for emendations are welcome and should be addressed to
the Department Chair.
