Most of the administrative aspects of your degree are handled by The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (GRS). If you want to graduate, take a leave of absence or need to get your thesis title approved, you need to go to GRS and fill out the appropriate form. There is more information about procedures and forms at http://www.bu.edu/grs/academics/degrees/procedures.html. GRS also has information about graduation. You need to fill out a form to graduate - it's not an automatic procedure. This is your responsibility - we don't have any control over your graduation. Visit http://www.bu.edu/grs/academics/degrees/calendar.html for dates and deadlines. Make sure you bookmark these pages, as they are likely to change from semester to semester.

If you have questions regarding the specifics of what class to take, what a class is about, or something similiar, Robert Kaufmann, the director of graduate studies, will be able to help you out. His office is in room 463 in the Stone Science Building, right next to the kitchen.

Erin Wnorowski, the graduate program coordinator for CEES and Geography and Environment can help you with registering for classes and any questions you may have about your degree. Her office is located in room 468 in the Stone Science Building.
