Forms, Timelines & Handbook
Graduate Handbook
This handbook was developed as an informal guide for the convenience of our graduate students. Formally approved policies for the program can be found in UCR’s General Catalog.
Degree Timelines
These timelines help students visualize a path-to-degree for both the Ph.D and the “incidental master’s” (for students entering without an M.A.). They also appear in the Handbook.
