Graduate and professional students have access to support through their departments or schools as well as UVA’s central student affairs resources. Students in the School of Law, School of Medicine, or Darden School of Business are also supported by student affairs offices within those schools.

Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Scholars

Grad students and postdocs are encouraged to work with their advisor or their department’s director of graduate studies for advising about subjects like coursework, thesis proposals, and research.

The Office of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs offers additional resources for career development and funding, including PhD Plus. Their site also offers a list of community and University resources.
