Students Who Were Awarded Degrees in the Preceding Summer, Fall, or Winter Terms
• Students who completed their degree requirements and received diplomas in the summer ’08, fall ’08 or winter ’09 terms are eligible to take part in Commencement
• If you graduated in a previous term, you should not file an Application for Degree form or a Walkthrough form.
Application for Degree Form
• If you are planning to receive a degree in the spring term, you must have on file with the University Registrar an Application for Degree form. The deadline for submitting this form was February 16. If you have not filed this form, please do so immediately, as this is what places you on the degree-candidate list and initiates the ordering of your diploma.
• If you did not meet the deadline, your name may not appear in the Commencement program.
Degree-Clearing Process
• Grades for degree candidates are due on Wednesday, June 10 at noon. Clearing will take place during the week of June 8th
• After grades have been submitted, clearing will take place June 8, 9 and 10
• A representative from each department will meet with a member of the University Registrar staff to clear students for graduation.
• If you have questions about the completion of your degree requirements, contact your individual advisor in your department/college.
Walkthrough Status
• “Walkthrough” applies to the students who will not have met their degree requirements by the end of the spring term and who are not degree candidates. Walkthrough forms, also called participation forms, are available from college advisors. After your advisor has signed your form, return it to the SRC. Complete both sides of the Walkthrough form. Be sure to submit an application for degree with your Walkthrough form.
NOTE
•Walkthrough students will not receive a diploma until the term in which all requirements are met, and their names will not appear in this year’s Commencement program
• Walkthrough students are not considered degree candidates and therefore are not exempt from final exams in the spring
• The following criteria for Walkthrough status apply to each type of student:
Undergraduate students
• You are a full-time student, within 20 credits of completing requirements, and you will complete your remaining credits by the end of the summer or fall term following Commencement.
• You are a part-time student, within 12 credits of completing requirements, and you will complete your remaining credits by the end of the summer or fall term following Commencement.
Graduate students
• You are completing a thesis or dissertation, you have defended your work (Ph.D. candidates must submit their D-7s to the Office of Graduate Studies by June 3) and are within two weeks of forwarding the completed dissertation copy to Hagerty Library.
• You do not have a thesis requirement, you are within six credits of completing your degree requirements at the end of the spring term and will complete all the assignments by the end of the summer term following Commencement.
