Current Graduate Students

Graduate Students bring a unique perspective to our community; your unique experiences will benefit your peers both inside and outside the classroom. Graduate Students have different needs than undergraduate students and we hope that you utilize the following campus resources for your needs.

The Graduate Student Community is a part of our Bristol and Providence campus, with several programs being online as well.  We hope that Graduate Students will engage in the classroom and the campus community while they are completing their graduate studies.  

Division of Student Life

The Division of Student Life has various offices to support you.   The following Student Life Departments offer services and resources to our campus community.

Housing

The University has limited housing for Graduate Students on the Bristol campus.  We realize that many graduate students are enrolled in various programs in Bristol or Providence and off campus housing will be the best options for them.  Students can learn more about university housing or off campus options. 

Bristol Dining Options

Graduate Students have options to purchase meal plans, add money to their accounts or visit our Upper Commons for meals. Information on meals and hours.
