It can be difficult to find news and information on campus that is specific or relevant to graduate students. Here is a small collection of resources to help you stay in the know.

NEWS & INFORMATION
 
Graduate Student Handbook
The handbook is a web-based collection of graduate student services that exist both on campus and in the D.C. area. Site contains information on finances, social life, health, recreation, transportation and other things affecting a graduate student's quality of life. The Graduate Student Handbook is a product of the Graduate Student Services Network.
 
Graduate Student Service Announcements Email
All graduate students currently registered for courses receive the Graduate Student Service Announcements email updates once a week on Thursday. Compiled by the Coordinator for Graduate Student Life, the announcements are distributed through the University of Maryland's MegaMail system. These announcements are from University administrative offices regarding services and resources available to graduate students. Those who have recently graduated from the University or are no longer graduate students will be automatically rolled off as a recipient within six weeks after their graduate student status has been terminated. If you have questions about these announcements, contact the Coordinator for Graduate Student Life at 301-314-9544 or via email by selecting the link above.
