Course Advising for New Students

For new students, learn about what mathematics courses you should take for your major and for your math requirements. 

Progress Reports/Guidelines & Student Handbooks

Progress Reports:

Progress Reports must be filled out by each graduate student and reviewed by their advisor one month prior to the end of classes each semester. You should keep a copy of the form and update as needed. If you do not have a formal research advisor, please consult with the advisor assigned to you in SIS. Please also attach a copy of your unofficial transcript to the report.

Reporting Discrimination

The Mathematics Department wants to ensure the best possible learning experience for students. We expect everyone to be treated with respect. Review ways to report discrimination.
