Supports & resources

Student handbook

The neuroscience graduate student handbook contains important program guideline information for students:

  • an overview of the neuroscience graduate program
  • supervisory committee structure
  • course requirements and suggested electives
  • funding (stipends and awards)
  • academic integrity
  • candidacy examinations
  • thesis and dissertation guidelines
  • oral exam guidelines
  • research ethics

We will provide a copy of this handbook to you upon entry to the neuroscience program. It should be used as a reference guide during your time in the program. This handbook is an accompanying document to existing University of Victoria policies and procedures.

The handbook is revised annually. All changes are ratified by the neuroscience graduate program committee and students will be made aware of any significant changes.
