Getting Started

The material in this handbook is intended to complement and detail the general policies and procedures presented in the Calendar of the Faculty of Graduate Studies, University of Guelph.

While Departmental regulations do not contravene these policies, in some instances they go beyond those of the Graduate Calendar which authorizes such Departmental policies; they also specify procedures stated in more general terms in the Calendar.

All new students must read the current Calendar AND this Handbook and ensure they understand the contained policies and procedures.
