VIII. Graduate Student Services

A. Program Overview

While recognizing that quality faculty and excellent curricula are key factors that shape institutional progress and reputation, we must also promote a positive campus climate that enhances the graduate educational experience at UC Irvine.  In addition to monitoring the quality and academic progress of graduate students, the Graduate Division plays a critical role in providing support services necessary to ensure that academic success is possible.  This includes counseling students about a range of personal, financial, and academic matters, providing up-to-date information about graduate studies at UCI, and disseminating clear information on degree requirements and graduate school policies and procedures. 

B. Graduate and Postdoctoral Scholar Resource Center (GPSRC)

The Graduate Resource Center provides coordinated services, events, programs, information and support to the UC Irvine graduate and postdoctoral scholar community. The GPSRC also serves as a meeting place in which to study, relax and network with fellow students.  The GPSRC facilitates student development and enrichment activities such as the Campuswide New Graduate Student Orientation and is host to a number of workshops on funding, work-life balance, academic and professional development, and writing throughout the year.
