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.

The Faculty of Graduate Studies (FGS) is not currently offering walk-in service, with in-person support offered by appointment only. 

For the fastest response, we encourage students and academic faculty/staff to first contact graduate.studies@dal.ca or call 902-494-2485 with any requests, or to schedule an appointment with a staff member who can help. Our operating hours remain 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. from Monday to Friday. 

If you have documents to drop off to us, such as official transcripts, please insert them in the FGS mail slot at room 314 in the Henry Hicks building, following up with an email to Graduate.Studies@dal.ca for confirmation of receipt.
