Community Guidelines

Connecting with the Graduate School

Welcome to the Michigan State University Graduate School Community! We encourage you to engage with the Graduate School and the graduate community through our social media accounts, and we hope that you share information that you find to be particularly useful with your peers. The graduate community is vast, including graduate students, graduate professional students, postdoctoral researchers, faculty, staff and alumni. In order to ensure that all our community members have an enriching experience, we’ve provided these guidelines for interaction.

Part of the mission of the Graduate School is to enhance the quality of graduate education at MSU in all its diverse dimensions. We use our social media accounts, blog, and websites to share information that our audiences may find useful and relevant.

If you have any questions related to your particular situation (admissions, conflict resolution, etc.) please contact the Graduate School directly. Representatives are available by phone and in person during our regular business operating hours. Questions can also be submitted via email. These will be responded to during regular business operating hours.

Hours of Operation: Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. – 12 p.m. EST and 1 p.m. – 5 p.m. EST
