Meet the Â鶹´«Ã½×ÊÔ´ community

Each semester, the Faculty of Graduate Studies welcomes new students joining us from locations locally, nationally and around the world. To bring us all together, we’ve created  Together@Dal: Grad Edition (T@DGE).

T@DGE features an in-person orientation, #gradchats with current graduate students, live virtual events, and Brightspace modules all designed to introduce you to the resources available at Â鶹´«Ã½×ÊÔ´ and equip you to start your degree program.  

We look forward to welcoming you to the Â鶹´«Ã½×ÊÔ´ graduate student community!

In case you missed it! We also have a checklist for new graduate students.

Coming up on Campus

In addition to Together@Dal: Grad Edition, we also recommend exploring other New to Dal programming on campus.
