The objective of the handbook, the plans of study, and the approved electives lists is to provide School of Geographical Sciences and Urban Planning (SGSUP) graduate students information on policies and procedures that must be adhered to for successfully completing a graduate degree within SGSUP. The handbook is not all-inclusive of every university policy, nor is it a complete replica of other handbooks or manuals; however, references are made to other handbooks and links provided for students to review full details on policies outside of the department.
Students must follow the handbook policies and plan of study requirements that correspond with their admission term. Visit the Archive for handbooks and plans of study for prior academic years.
