Guide to Grad Studies
2023-2024
This Guide outlines the policies and procedures followed by the Department of Biology (hereafter Biology) with respect to graduate studies. Graduate studies at Queen's are administered under the regulations of the School of Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs (hereafter SGSPA) as described in the current Graduate Studies Calendar. This Guide is meant to extend and interpret the regulations of the SGSPA for Biology. The University has many resources related to graduate studies and student wellness – this document attempts to distill the most relevant information from those documents, and to provide links to some of the relevant documents on the SGSPA and other university websites. Faculty and students are strongly encouraged to read and refer to the Graduate Supervision Handbook, and General Regulations in the Graduate Academic Calendar.
