College Procedures and Policies
This section is for informational purposes only. While every effort is made to provide accurate and current information, The University of Toledo reserves the right to modify rules, policies, requirements, and any other matter, without notice. It is the responsibility of the student to meet all University, college, and program requirements. The Graduate Catalog clarifies minimum university-level requirements and policies that apply to all graduate students at UToledo. Students are also expected to adhere to requirements and procedures specific to their own degree program and college.
COMMUNICATION
The College of Graduate Studies communicates with students via email. All emails will go to the student's UTAD (Rocky.Rocket@rockets.utoledo.edu) account. Students are advised to check their university email often as this is the official communication channel for all UToledo offices and departments. When communicating with our office, we recommend providing your Rocket number for increased accuracy and efficiency.
