    SNRE Graduate Student Guide

    All SNRE graduate students should review the Graduate Student Guide upon acceptance into our school, and refer to it as needed throughout their graduate studies. 

    Financial Support

    Our Financial Support section helps graduate students understand their options for financial support from SNRE and UF, as well as from non-UF organizations.  

    Forms and Planning

    Our Forms and Planning section helps graduate students plan out the timeline for their MS or PhD degrees. Here you can find the formal Plan of Study for your degree program, and access your Individual Development Plan, which all CALS students are required to update throughout their studies. This section also contains important information about the milestones for MS and PhD students, as well as other forms students may need to complete in the course of their degree programs.
