Stanford has faculty Directors of Graduate Studies (DGS) who take primary responsibility for overseeing graduate degree requirements, students' progress towards degree, and other academic issues.

This portal provides information and resources for DGSs, including materials distributed at DGS meetings. Read more about DGS responsibilities in the Graduate Academic Policies and Procedures handbook (GAP 3.4 Faculty Directors of Graduate Studies).
