The Linguistics Department is pleased to provide this Departmental Handbook as a resource for faculty, graduate students, and staff. It is meant to act as a helpful tool with several components including: an orientation manual, an FAQ about department policies, and a calendar aid for the annual calendar of the UW.
You can search the document with keywords to find mentions of what it is you want to look up, and in the PDF the headers in the content section are live links.
The Handbook content was last updated on December 27, 2023. Please let the Administrator know if you notice something that needs to be updated, corrected, or added. Here's the content list as a preview.
