English Graduate Handbook

Purpose of the Handbook

This handbook is a guide for graduate students admitted to the Department of English graduate programs. Students should regularly consult the handbook for information about the English graduate programs, including policies and information on financial aid, degree milestones, etc.

The handbook can be thought of as an initial resource for questions about the program, but students are also welcome (and encouraged) to consult directly with the director of graduate studies and the graduate program coordinator for questions or concerns.

Once admitted to the Department of English, students are also added to an email listserv to receive important information about deadlines, scholarships, jobs, workshops, and events in the Department of English. Graduate students who are not receiving emails should email the staff Graduate Program Coodinator (GPC) Carol.hatch@usu.edu to be added to the listserv.

The policies listed in this handbook are from the Department of English and are specific to the English department and its programs. This handbook is updated annually. Graduate students will be notified via the listserv when major updates are made.
