Introduction to Graduate Studies
This electronic handbook is intended to assist Materials Science and Engineering graduate students during their stay at Georgia Tech and is a supplement to the material contained in the Georgia Tech General Catalog,
particularly the section entitled "Information for Graduate Students." The rules and regulations in the Catalog govern all graduate students. This manual covers matters of particular concern to graduate
students in Materials Science and Engineering. All such students should carefully read and follow the guidelines set out in the Catalog and this manual.
The Director of Graduate Studies should be consulted in case of questions concerning academic requirements and procedures. Forms may be obtained from the Materials Science and Engineering Academic Office (Room 296,
Erskine Love Manufacturing Building) or from the Graduate Studies and Research Office located on the 3rd floor of the Savant Building, Room 317 and respective web sites.
Other sources of information include the following:
- Research in the School of Materials Science and Engineering.
- School of Materials Science and Engineering Annual Report.
- Various program descriptions such as those concerning the Graduate Cooperative Program. A booklet describing the various inter-disciplinary certificate programs is available in the Office of the Dean of
Engineering.
- Graduate Student Orientation Handbook (published by the Graduate Student Senate).
- Manual for Graduate Theses (published by the Office of Graduate Studies and Research).
- OSCAR, the on-line listing of classes for each semester, also contains registration information and an academic calendar.
Reference copies of these documents are available in the Materials Science and Engineering Academic Office; however, individual copies may not be available.
Every graduate student in the School of Materials Science and Engineering is assigned a mailbox in the School mail room. Correspondence from the School Director and Director of Graduate Studies is placed in these
mailboxes periodically. A full-time student should check his/her mailbox and e-mail at least once a day. A bulletin board for graduate affairs is also maintained in the mail room (room 2S50, Erskine Love
Manufacturing Building). This board should be periodically checked for relevant seminar and conference announcements, employment and educational opportunities, course offerings, scholarship and fellowship
announcements and social events. Also, the Institute assigns you a post office box at the campus Post Office in the Student Center. Please check that box periodically as correspondence from the Office of Graduate
Studies, Library, Bursar's Office and many other campus offices are sent directly to that P.O. box rather than our internal, departmental box or your home address.
Students are responsible for reporting changes in their residential address and telephone number, within one week's time from the change, to the Office of the Registrar and the Materials Science and Engineering
Academic office.
