Overview
Graduate advising is primarily handled within academic departments. Please contact your department directly with your advising questions (e.g. registration, course selection, program requirements, independent study, comprehensive exam schedule, etc.).
If you have questions regarding CAS’s graduate admissions process or application procedures, please contact CAS’s Office of Graduate Admissions.
Orientation
