We're here for you

The Faculty of Graduate Studies is the home faculty of every graduate student at Dalhousie. From our Together@Dal: Grad Edition orientation program that gets you off to a good start to our Dal GradPD professional development program that prepares you for what comes next, we’re here to support your success.

Our website and SharePoint site (login required) are the best places to start with questions or requests. Given the hybrid working arrangements, virtual meetings continue to be the most efficient. We encourage anyone looking to meet with one of our staff members to first contact graduate.studies@dal.ca with your request.
