The policies governing the graduate program in the Department of Biochemistry follow the regulations outlined in the School of Graduate Studies (SGS) Calendar (see the General Regulations and the Degree Regulations).

A number of memoranda amplifying or explaining these policies have been issued by the Departmental Chair, or the Graduate Committee, and these items have been collected here, as a guide to both students and their supervisors. Included are the present departmental policies pertaining to tuition fees, stipends/awards, course requirements, examinations, etc.

This set of guidelines cannot cover all possibilities. It is your responsibility as a student to consult fully with your supervisor and the Graduate Coordinator and to have a complete understanding of the implications of all decisions that are made pertaining to the graduate program. It is also your responsibility as a student to be informed of all SGS policies and deadlines.
