The Graduate College recently updated our toolkits, which address crucial topics in graduate education. These toolkits connect faculty and programs to resources and strategies to support your work with graduate students from recruitment to graduation and beyond.
Holistic Review in Graduate Admissions Toolkit
Holistic review considers both quantitative data and qualitative indicators to obtain a full picture of each applicant’s attributes and potential to thrive as graduate student. This practice increases access to graduate education by students with a wide range of experiences, backgrounds, and perspectives, and it can be a key contributor to admitting and supporting a diverse and vibrant student body.
This toolkit offers an actionable guide to these admissions practices. In the toolkit, you will find key questions to ask and actions to consider at each stage of the admissions process, including self-assessment, application design, selection, and more.

Graduate Career Outcomes Toolkit
Career outcomes data is one important way to assess the impact of graduate education at the University of Illinois. Understanding what your students go on to do can help you align curricular and co-curricular opportunities with skills your graduates will need, tell your program’s story in new ways, build stronger connections with alumni, and show prospective students what the University of Illinois can do for them.
This toolkit connects you with sources of career outcomes data for alumni of graduate programs and offers suggestions for ways to use the data.
