Graduate Student Handbook

The Graduate Student Handbook outlines departmental practices, policies, and resources as they relate to graduate study and graduate student life in and around the department. The handbook has been created jointly by faculty, staff, and students in the Department of Music, and is updated each year. Although the handbook is quite comprehensive, students should also be aware of these resources: the Student Manual of University Policies and Regulations the Chicago Life website for international students, the Office of International Affairs, Administration Building, Room 203.
