Departmental Resources for Students

The Academic Training Team supports students, faculty, and staff with academic advising and activities to assist students throughout their degree program, focusing on degree requirements beyond traditional classroom settings (e.g., APEx, CE, IPE, PE, and CITI), and providing general assistance with forms and academic progress.

It is recommended to review the resources below and meet with your academic advisor or program GSA to ensure you meet degree requirements and receive additional guidance as you navigate the program.
