Student Handbook

Mentoring Guidelines
The faculty mentor/student relationship will be one of the most important relationships you will have during your graduate career. UC Davis Graduate Council adopted faculty/student mentoring guidelines in 1999 updated in 2016, and then in 2023, that explain what mentoring is and the expectations faculty and students should have of one another. The UC Davis Graduate Council Mentoring Guidelines are attached below, and available here with applicable access. Information about these mentoring guidelines and other mentor resources is here: https://grad.ucdavis.edu/mentoring, and https://grad.ucdavis.edu/program-resources.
