Below is a list of some of the people in the Department of Mathematics who you may need to talk with at various points during your time at UC San Diego.
The Senior Teaching Assistants (Samir Canning and Daniel Kroes) are the first people one should talk to with teaching issues.
For academic issues, one should first go to his/her faculty advisor and then to the Graduate Vice Chair, Bo Li if the situation is not resolved.
Most other issues, including advancing to candidacy and graduation are handled by the Graduate Advisors.
