Student Handbooks
Graduate Center Student Handbook
Revised annually, the Student Handbook supplements the information in the Bulletin of The Graduate Center. In addition, you will want to consult your respective academic program’s handbook. Take some time to familiarize yourself with the contents of these publications—you may discover useful information about opportunities and services, as well as academic policies, that you might not otherwise have known about on a timely basis.
Developmental Psychology Student Handbook (2018)
The handbook is currently being revised to reflect the recent changes within the department and should be posted around the Spring 2022 semester. Please contact the DEI committee for updates on the status of the revised handbook.
