The Graduate School is pleased to release the inaugural Graduate Student Handbook. This comprehensive resource brings together key policies, procedures, academic expectations and support services relevant to graduate education at the University of Washington.
Created with student success at its core, the handbook is designed as a central reference for students, faculty and staff. It supports a shared understanding of institutional standards and resources, while underscoring the Graduate School’s ongoing commitment to fostering an informed, inclusive and supportive academic environment.
All members of the graduate education community are encouraged to consult the handbook regularly. Feedback is welcome and will help ensure the resource continues to meet the evolving needs of our graduate programs. The handbook will be reviewed and updated annually.
