As a graduate student at Memorial, a number of faculty and staff members are here to help you at every step of your journey.

Every academic unit has a graduate officer (usually a faculty member) and graduate administrative staff.

The grad officer and admin staff oversee all aspects of graduate program administration. This includes admissions, course offerings, non-course requirements, student progress, fellowships budget, scholarships competitions, research exams, and graduation.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to either if you have questions or concerns. For more general inquiries, you can also contact the faculty and staff in the School of Graduate Studies.
