HOW THE GSU SERVES YOU
Welcome to the University of Notre Dame!
As president of the Graduate Student
Union (GSU), I am delighted you are
here and want to encourage you to take
advantage of the many opportunities
the GSU offers. The GSU represents all
of Notre Dame’s graduate students and
works to improve the quality of life for
students in the classroom, laboratory,
or in the library, either through offering
conference travel grants, opportunities
to present their research at our annual
Research Symposium, or hosting social
events that foster relationships among
fellow graduate students. We advocate
for your needs and interests directly to the
University Administration, and welcome
any suggestions or topics for discussion as
we strive to meet the needs of students in
all disciplines.
The GSU executive team is comprised
of the president and co-vice presidents,
committees (including academic affairs,
external affairs and electronic resources,
health care, orientation, publicity and
procedures, quality of life, and social
events), and department representatives.
As with any association, the GSU’s quality
and effectiveness is only as good as the
participation of its members, so I strongly
encourage you to be actively involved in
the GSU during the upcoming year and
throughout your career at Notre Dame.
Our meetings are open to all grad students
and are usually held the third Thursday
of every month during the academic year
at 6:30pm in the Notre Dame Room,
LaFortune Student Center.
We have spent a lot of time crafting this
handbook with the intention of introducing
you to the campus and surrounding
community. More detailed information
about each specific department can be
found on the web. As a graduate student
at one of the finest research institutions in
the country you will contribute immensely
to the educational advancement of the
community. And while this will be one
of the most challenging times in your life,
it will also be one of the most rewarding
times. Be sure to take advantage of the
abundant resources offered!
Be on the lookout for our weekly
newsletter email for news, events, and
additional support! I welcome all forms
of communication, so if you are in need of
assistance please contact me.
Founded in 1969, the Graduate Student Union (GSU) is a student organization which
represents all graduate students of the four divisions of the Graduate School (Engineering,
Humanities, Science and Social Sciences) and the School of Architecture. The GSU
promotes excellence in graduate education, and strives to meet the needs of graduate
students in all aspects of student life.

Laura Carlson
Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C.
Vice President and Associate Provost
Dean, The Graduate School
Professor of Psychology
President, University of Notre Dame
Welcome to graduate school at the
University of Notre Dame. We are proud
to have you join our ranks, have high
expectations for you, and are committed to
your success here and beyond. In coming
to Notre Dame for your graduate training,
you have selected an institution with a
superb faculty, top graduate programs,
and a commitment to research, teaching
and service, all of which combine to offer
you an integrated and ever-widening set
of resources that will contribute to your
formation as a researcher.
At the center is you. The transition to
graduate school is marked by a number
of personal transformations: from being
a consumer of information to becoming
the creator of new knowledge; from being
responsive to assignments and deadlines
set by instructors to being proactive about
setting up your own goals and timeline for
progressing in your research; from learning
from others to becoming the expert in your
field and fostering the learning in others.
Surrounding you are people and resources,
positioned to help you along your journey to
becoming a scholar. Your faculty mentor
serves as your guide into your chosen field,
leading you through the critical readings
and procedures for conducting research
in your field, mentoring your professional
development, and helping you to create
a professional network. You will work
closely with your mentor throughout your
6
training, and the strongest mentoring
relationships include open communication
and clear expectations.
Your peers, both within and outside your
programs, offer you a scholarly and social
network that will be vital to your holistic
development as a scholar. Take the time to
reach out and meet new people, talk about
your research, learn about what others are
doing. Collectively, you constitute the next
generation of scholars.
Your program, department and college offer
you another set of resources that support
your mastering of key milestones in your
training, and your development towards
independent thinking. Get to know
your director of graduate studies and your
department chair and dean who are all
wonderful role models and are committed
to your success.
It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that
I welcome you to the University of Notre
Dame. I am thrilled that you have chosen
this place to continue your studies and advance
understanding of your chosen specialty through
your research and inquiry.
Notre Dame is a place where matters of faith are
addressed with respect and where the wisdom
of religious tradition sheds new light upon
the most pressing concerns of our time. It is a
university that strives to cultivate in its students
both technical proficiency and an ethical, moral
and spiritual integrity that lasts a lifetime.
As a graduate student, I hope you will find your
days here a time of personal growth, intellectual
challenge, and professional exploration. I
encourage you to be an active member of our
community and seek the academic, social,
recreational and spiritual opportunities which
abound.
Finally, the Graduate School offers a strong
set of programs in professional development
to assist you in mastering transferrable
skills which augment your training and will
contribute to your success launching your
career, and in student life assuring your
scholarly development is balanced with your
social, physical and spiritual needs.
The resources offered by the University
in support of your work are plentiful. In
particular, several programs offered by the
Graduate School and the Graduate Student
Union are offered to assist you in making a
smooth and rapid transition to the University,
and I urge you to take full advantage of these
offerings.
We are excited to have you on campus, and
I hope to meet you and learn about your
research. Please don’t hesitate to drop by
and say hello.
Again, I am glad to welcome you to Notre
Dame. I wish you great success in your
intellectual pursuits, and I look forward to
seeing you sometime in the near future.

STUDENT ACCOUNTS
NOTRE DAME SECURITY POLICE DEPARTMENT (NDSP)
The Office of Student Accounts monitors students’ accounts for accuracy and generates the
monthly student account statements. Student Accounts also acts as a clearinghouse for
issuing student charges and credits, in addition to processing payments and refunds.

as a police agency by the State of Indiana. NDSP employs both sworn police officers
and non-sworn campus safety officers who patrol campus and respond to emergencies.
Additional staff members work as security monitors or in other support positions in the
department. Notre Dame police officers complete state-mandated training requirements
established for law enforcement officers and have the same legal authority as any other
police officer in Indiana.

SAINT LIAM HALL 24/7 (SUMMER 8–4PM)
University Health Services (UHS) provides treatment of illness and injury to all currently
enrolled students. UHS is staffed by physicians and registered nurses 24/7 during the
academic year. Services include a walk-in clinic, pharmacy, allergy injections, travel
consultations, vaccinations, laboratory tests, x-rays and physical therapy. If you are
seriously ill, you may be admitted to our inpatient observation unit upon orders from a

H E A LT H I N S U R A N C E
Health insurance is required for all
graduate students attending Notre
Dame. As an enrolled graduate
student, you are automatically enrolled
in the University’s student health
insurance plan. If you decide not to
obtain coverage through this plan,
you must provide proof of enrollment
in a comparable insurance plan
by September 15, 2014. Waiver
applications are done electronically
through: aetnastudenthealth.com. You
will receive multiple emails from UHS
regarding the insurance plan prior to the
waiver deadline. UHS will provide you a
link in the email to apply for the waiver.
The Notre Dame student health
insurance plan is underwritten by Aetna
Life Insurance Company. The coverage
year runs from August 15, 2014, to
August 14, 2015. Early in the fall
semester, each student will receive
a booklet detailing the insurance plan
along with their health insurance ID
card. You can also find a copy of the
brochure and pamphlet at: uhs.nd.edu
under the insurance tab.
For information, please refer to the
UHS website: uhs.nd.edu. Additional
questions can be sent to the Assistant
Director of Office Operations at the
14
Insurance and Billing office at UHS at
574.631.1882.
There is only one plan available. The
cost to each student is $2,313.
The cost for dependents is:
Spouse—$5,785; One Child—$3,471;
All Children—$4,512.

For the best coverage, prescriptions
must be filled at the University Health
Center on campus. There are co-pays
when you get your prescriptions filled
at the UHS Pharmacy on campus. The
co-pays are $5 (copay for generic),
$25 (copay for brand-name) and $35
(copay for brand- name if generic
available). Off campus, there is a yearly
$100 prescription deductible. After
the deductible has been satisfied, the
coverage for prescriptions is as follows:
$5 (generic prescription drug), $25
(preferred brand name prescription drug),
no coverage for Non-Preferred brand
name prescription drugs. Benefits
for contraceptives are covered only
when medically necessary. Allergy

GRADUATE SCHOOL PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
OFFICE OF GRANTS AND FELLOWSHIPS
We believe that graduate training is holistic. For this reason, we promote our students’
professional development so that when they assume their careers- whether in academia, the
private sector, government, or non-governmental organizations- they do so fully prepared
and with confidence. The mission of the Professional Development Program is to enhance
the academic training of graduate students and postdoctoral scholars within the areas of
research, teaching, career and ethics. To that end, we are offering events and workshops
clustered around the core components of professional development: Research, Career
Services, Teaching, and Ethics.
The Graduate School Office of Grants & Fellowships supports Notre Dame graduate
students with goal setting and the achievement of their research and professional
aspirations. In collaboration with campus partners, we prepare students to obtain strong
professional outcomes during their time at Notre Dame and beyond.

How can you present yourself and your research properly and effectively? Positive selfdescription—both in print and face-to-face—is a set of professional skills not normally
taught in the lab or classroom. Helping you learn and perfect these skills is the primary
goal of the Office of Grants and Fellowships. Whether in a fellowship application or in an
elevator at a conference, we want to help you stand out!
Our team offers year-round workshops and other programming; we also provide individual
consultations to assist students in goal setting as well as finding, strategizing for, and
applying for grants and fellowships.
Students also have the opportunity to utilize specialized online databases, including
PIVOT and Academic iNDex, to locate opportunities, strategize applications, and conduct
funding-related research. We also offer access to our large database of successful application
essays for all of the major grant and fellowship opportunities, both internal and beyond
Notre Dame.
Overall, we help students better understand how to present themselves and their research
to various audiences. In the process, we empower students to take ownership of their
research development and to devote the time and energy necessary to apply for—and
win—prestigious grants and fellowships. The Office of Grants & Fellowships is here to
support you; to help you set, strategize for, and achieve your goals during your time at
Notre Dame—and beyond.

Notre Dame’s stellar athletic teams are a great way to spend time away from schoolwork.
As you all know, football is big here at Notre Dame, VERY BIG. Here are a few tips on
how to have the most fun and the least headaches during football season, and the other
sports around campus.
FOOTBALL PARKING
TICKETS FOR FAMILY & FRIENDS
WHITE FIELD
UND.COM
Game day parking is not allowed on campus (except
of on-campus student residents parking in FOG or
the Village) unless you have a special hanging tag.
Those with parking passes can park in White Field,
off of Juniper between Douglas and Cleveland for
free. If you want to be parked next to a friend, try to
meet up beforehand and drive to the field together.
Tickets can be hard to come by if not a student.
Depending on availability, individual general sale
tickets ($70) are available for a limited time during
late July. There’s also a Wait List lottery beginning
each January via: footballtickets.nd.edu/public
NOTRE DAME PARAPHERNALIA
One free student ticket for all sports (except
Football and Men’s Basketball) is generally available
beginning one hour prior to the start of the game.
Be sure to support your favorite teams by wearing
our university’s colors: blue and gold (and green)!
IRONWOOD DRIVE
The Bookstore has nice wears, but for less
expensive Irish gear, head to the Clearance Center
on Ironwood. They receive clothing and goods
directly from the bookstore. JC Penney and
even Meijer also sell “official” Notre Dame gear.
