The following information may be helpful to Georgia Tech Graduate Students

General Information

Georgia Tech is affiliated with the National Association of Graduate-Professional Students. Their web page offers information to graduate students on issues such as employment and tax breaks for graduate students (such as IRS form 8863).

The Georgia Tech Graduate Office has a web page on Graduate Studies and Research. There is information on this page about graduate fellowships with many links to organizations that award these fellowships. There is also a brief description of the Graduate Office. This office is the one in charge of paperwork for your thesis and sets the dates when your thesis and degree petitions must be turned in. On their site is the calendar for graduating and submitting your thesis.

Professional Development Certification Program

The goal of this certification program is to expose, manifest, and incentivize graduate student utilization of departmental and centralized training resources to foster professional development and increase student experience and versatility. In addition, we aim to educate students of what potential career opportunities may be available to them upon degree completion, beyond working at an academic institution, and the diversity of skills that they will need to be successful in that career.
