This Handbook is a compendium of information about policies, requirements, and resources that will be relevant to your career at Keck Graduate Institute. There are four sections to the Handbook, each having its own prominence. At one point or another during your career at KGI, you will need to communicate with all of the offices listed in this guide. You should familiarize yourself with its contents and keep it handy for reference throughout your graduate study at KGI.

We believe that most of the questions you might have about services and academic policies and requirements are answered in this handbook. Despite our efforts in making this handbook up to date, we acknowledge that our academic environment is characterized by both great stability and continuous change. Because policies, procedures, and administrative configurations change over time, it is important to pay attention to any supplements or periodic announcements that will enhance this guide.
