Graduate Program > Graduate Student Handbook

Graduate Student Handbook

These notes are designed to orient new graduate students to the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. They include such things as registration procedures, business office procedures, and a detailed discussion of the MSE and PhD programs.

Please note that specific due dates and other regulatory material are not included in this handbook. It is the student's responsibility to familiarize himself or herself with the supplementary material and requirements found in the SEAS Graduate Catalog. Graduate students should also regularly check their mailboxes for important notices and memoranda.

The staff of the department is available and willing to help with any questions or problems that may arise, and students should feel free to ask for assistance at any time.
