Request a Consultation

    In order to ensure that we are able to effectively assist all graduate students and postdocs, the following policies regulate the use of our services: 

    1. All students are encouraged to utilize our services as they need. In the interest of keeping our services accessible, please schedule no more than one consultation every two business days. Under certain circumstances, additional consultations may be scheduled at the discretion of the Office of Grants and Fellowships.
    2. To ensure that our consultants are adequately prepared to assist you, appointments scheduled within 24 hours are subject to cancelation.
    3. In order to enable our consultants to provide the best quality support, any draft materials you wish to have reviewed should be submitted 24 hours prior to scheduled consultations.
    4. Individual consultants may have additional policies listed on their appointment page regarding booking, cancelation, and timeline for draft reviews. 
    5. Appointments must be booked using your ND email address.
    6. The office reserves the right to cancel or limit services as necessary depending upon the availability of our consultation team.
    7. As part of our office’s professional development and procedures, we often have other consultants observe and join each other’s consultations. This often includes observing during the meeting time and/or sharing your materials between those on the team—which ultimately provides you with a different perspective and more feedback in a given consultation. If you have questions/concerns, please let us know.

    By adhering to these policies, we aim to provide high-quality, effective, and accessible support for all Notre Dame graduate students. If you want to book a consultation, have any questions about these policies, or need assistance, please contact gradgrants@nd.edu.
