Resources for Directors of Graduate Programs
The graduate school provides resources and information to directors of graduate programs to help them successfully manage the procedures, policies and schedules throughout the academic year, and to problem-solve and guide students to their degrees.
Rackham Graduate Program Hub
The Rackham Graduate Program Hub provides program leadership and coordinators with a secure, centralized location for accessing information key to their programs and partnership with Rackham. Accessible via login, the Program Hub serves as a managed archive to assist with the transitions of program leadership and graduate coordinators, along with being an easily accessible point of reference. It also links to publicly available information like program statistics and an archived list of our monthly chairs and directors newsletters.
Rackham’s Faculty Committee on Mentoring (MORE)
MORE (Mentoring Others Results in Excellence) is a Rackham committee that provides faculty with effective tools and practices for mentoring graduate students and seeks to improve the graduate school experience for all students.
Rackham Presentation Request Form

Policies and Guidelines
Graduate Programs and Registration Policy
Graduate chairs and directors should know the eligibility criteria as well as the process for your program to obtain resources for tuition support from your school or college. Please inform your faculty, staff, and students about your departmental process for obtaining tuition support.
Holistic Admissions
Rackham recognizes that the discontinuation of the GRE presents a particular challenge for the small number of programs that have relied upon the GRE in doctoral admissions. In addition, we understand that the development and implementation of truly holistic admissions practices requires ongoing work for all doctoral programs. To address these needs, Rackham has developed mechanisms to support individual programs in the development and implementation of holistic admission best practices.
Resources and Information for Students Affected by Country Based Travel Restrictions
Information for students before they travel, and those facing visa issues or who have been refused entry at the U.S. border.
