Graduate Student Timeline

The following table from the Graduate Student Handbook gives a timeline for graduate students that entered the program fall 2019 and later.

This timeline reflects the milestones for a typical full-­‐time graduate student in the Ph.D. chemistry program that you and your advisor should keep in mind. Adjustments to the schedule can be made for non-­‐academic, extenuating circumstances (e.g. leave of absence, illness, pregnancy, parenting, etc.).
