Page 8 Getting ready to Graduate? Graduate Students & Graduating Students Graduate Students All Students In the quarter you plan to graduate, you must apply for your degree on the Graduate School’s degree application website. The site opens on the first day of the quarter of graduation. The Graduate School requires that you do this by the end of the 7th week of the quarter to apply for your degree. In most of the Jackson School graduate programs, the deadline for submitting drafts of final papers is the end of the 6th or 7th week of the final quarter. Be sure to check your program’s handbook for information about deadlines for your program. When you apply online, the Graduate School computer program will scan your transcript and current courses and generate a list of outstanding Graduate School requirements. Remember that the requirements of your Jackson School program may be different from the Graduate School’s requirements. For example, the Graduate School requires a minimum of 36 credits to graduate with a Master’s Degree, but some of the Jackson School programs require more than the Graduate School minimum. Be sure that you meet with Paula Milligan to review your file and graduation procedures at least a quarter in advance of your planned graduation. You can sign up for an appointment online with Paula’s calendar. Basic Rules Often Misunderstood An important source of information on Graduate School requirements is the Graduate School’s web page, “Instructions, Policies and Procedures for Graduate Students”. This is an index of topics you will want to know more about, such as on-leave policies, grading policies, and graduate courses. If you have any questions, though, be sure to check with Paula. Some things you may not have known: 1) Incompletes received by graduate students do not automatically convert to a grade of 0.0, as they do for undergraduates. 2.) For graduate students, the only courses that affect the GPA are graded courses at the 400 and 500 level. Note, though, that: 00 (Independent Study) and 700 (Thesis) credits are not calculated in the GPA, even if a decimal grade is received, and these credits do not fulfill the Graduate School requirement for a minimum of 18 graded credits, (but they do count toward the 36 credit minimum). News flash! The Graduate School is considering some changes to the on-leave policy which would limit the length of time students may take leave. Check with Paula Milligan if you anticipate going on-leave in the future. Current withdrawal and on-leave policies are online. Graduate students must register for every quarter (except summer) or apply to go “on leave” to maintain status as a graduate student. If you lose your status as a continuing graduate student, you will have to reapply to the Graduate School. STUDENT SERVICES BULLETIN GRADUATION for Undergraduates In order to graduate from the UW, all students must apply for graduation. Undergraduates must schedule an appointment with their adviser, James Donnen, Linda Iltis, or Joni Marts at least one quarter in advance of their planned graduation date in order to fill out the application. It is strongly recommended that you file two or three quarters ahead in order to have time to complete any “unexpected” requirements. To check progress towards your degree, view your degree audit online through MyUW and see your adviser. Be sure to resolve any missing grades, especially for foreign study, senior research papers, or independent study. The final deadline to apply to graduate in March 2012, is January 20th. The final deadline to apply to graduate in June 2012 is April 13th. However, if you want to have graduating senior registration priority for Spring quarter, the graduation application must be made by February 15th. Jackson School Convocation The annual Jackson School Convocation will be held on hursday, June 7th at 7:00 p.m. at the Center for Spiritual Living, on Sandpoint Way. Graduate and undergraduate students who graduate Autumn 2011 through Summer 2012 will be honored. Graduating students will receive invitations in the mail in May. Students must register, confirm attendance at the convocation and pick up guest tickets. Normally, each student can have up to six guest tickets. The Jackson School event is separate from the University’s commencement ceremony, which will take place on Saturday, June 9th at Century Link Field.
