Graduate Students
Welcome – students in graduate programs have two very important homes. You have a departmental campus home – your Academic School at the Marine Institute Campus (School of Fisheries, School of Ocean Technology, or School of Maritime Studies). Some of you may have a departmental home at other Faculties, departments at other campuses of Memorial University. You also all have a home with School of Graduate Studies.
Your campus home, Marine Institute (MI) delivers your program courses, supports your research, and helps guide you through the process of completing your program. The School of Graduate Studies governs all graduate programs at Memorial and sets policies, processes and guidelines that support students, faculty and staff as students apply, begin, progress, make changes, and eventually graduate from their program.
This site will provide details to help orient you for your graduate program, supports, and services and to your Marine Institute home.
