Welcome to the Department of Immunology at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. This handbook provides information about the Integrated Department of Immunology Graduate Program and is designed to complement the Graduate School Student Handbook. Please refer to your Graduate School Handbook (www.uchsc.edu/gs/gs/handbook.htm) for the specific Graduate School policies and procedures. The material contained within this handbook is as current as possible and describes Immunology Program specific policies and procedures that supersede those is the Graduate School Handbook. Please be aware that our program continues to evolve and policies altered, thus, this material may not always be current.

This handbook, which includes policies and procedures for the Immunology Program, is provided by the Integrated Department of Immunology to serve as firm guidelines rather than absolute rules, and exceptions may be made on the basis of an extenuating circumstance. Thus, the handbook does not constitute a contract with the Immunology Department or the University of Colorado Denver Graduate School, either expressed or implied. The Integrated Department of Immunology reserves the right at any time to change, delete, or add to any of the provisions at its discretion. Any exceptions to the departmental policies contained herein require approval by the Director of the Graduate Program.

Important Notices:
Before the first day of class, a student should:
Attend the University of Colorado Denver Graduate School Orientation. Part of this orientation will include how to register for courses. Registration forms for first year students must be approved by Dr. Raul Torres, Director of the Graduate Program.

Begin to establish residency as directed by the Graduate School staff at their orientation, including obtaining a Colorado's driver's license or resident identification card, and registering to vote. To qualify for resident tuition, one must be a Colorado resident for a full year, so the earlier this is established, the better. If you have any questions about the process, call the Graduate School Admissions office at 303-724-2915.

CALL THE DEPARTMENT OFFICE (Amy Scoby, Immunology Program Administrator -
303-270-2593) WITH ANY QUESTIONS.
