Faculty and Staff Consultation
Graduate Student and Program Consultation Services can also advise about Rackham and university policies and procedures, make referrals, and offer resources when appropriate.
Resolution Services
Graduate school is full of challenges, both academically and personally. Graduate students are often working to navigate studies, research, funding, and relationships with peers and advisors, often under pressure. Addressing your concern or sharing a need can feel like one more thing to do, many students (and staff) can feel stuck as a result. Rackham is here to help.
Zoom Virtual Office Hours
If you have a quick question or have a time sensitive matter, attend the Rackham’s Resolution Service’s virtual office hours weekly on Monday and Wednesday from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. via Zoom.
