The dean of graduate studies is responsible for the overall administration of graduate programs through the graduate general regulations, for maintenance of student records, and for the administration of all merit-based awards. Processing of graduate admissions is delegated to the dean by the senate graduate studies committee.
Most graduate programs are administered locally through graduate program committees in the departments, schools and faculties in which they are located. The dean of graduate studies administers individual special arrangements programs.
Individual Special Arrangements
Individual students may apply by December 1 of any given year to the dean of graduate studies for admission to an individual special arrangements program. For more details, go to the Special Arrangements (SAR) website.
In addition to regularly scheduled courses in established graduate programs, SAR courses are also open to special arrangements students.
