Frequently Asked Questions on Graduation Packets
Why do I need a copy of my degree plan to turn in with my application?
First and foremost, in order to make sure that you have a degree plan on file: Your application cannot be processed unless you do. Second, in order to make sure that the coursework listed on your plan is the coursework you actually completed to fulfill your degree requirements. It is to your benefit to review your plan with your advisor before submitting it with your application so if any changes need to be made you will have time to make them.
Please do not ask the Graduate School for a copy of your degree plan to turn in with your application! You need to get the copy from your department!
What if I can't meet the filing deadline for submitting my paper?
Please notify the Graduation Office so your application materials can be forwarded to the next semester. Check the Academic Calendar (Summer 2008) for the next filing deadline.
If my application cannot be forwarded again because I have missed the paper filing deadline more than once what happens to the filing fees I paid?
The Graduation Office will send a request to Student Accounting and Cashiering Services to refund these fees to your account. You will be required to repay them when you reapply for graduation.
I have an incomplete that won't be finished by the deadline on the calendar, will I still be able to graduate?
Exceptions to the deadline will only be made if your professor sends something in writing to the Graduation Office explaining why the deadline cannot be met and when the grade will actually be submitted. These requests are not automatically granted! Please adhere to the published deadline if at all possible.
