November Degree Applications Due Aug 2

— Students can apply until 11:59pm EDT

Dear GSAS Department Colleagues,

We hope you’ve been enjoying your summer and are looking forward to the term ahead.  I’m reaching out with a reminder that November Degree Applications are due this upcoming Monday, August 2 by 11:59pm EDT.

You can review your November degree candidates' application statuses using the Students by Expected Grad Term query found on your GSAS Department Workcenter Navigations tab.

Please do not recommend your students for graduation at this time. We will send another email once our office is ready to begin accepting recommendations in August. The deadline for November degree recommendations is October 19th.

 

HELP CENTER

Please direct your students to the links above to assist them in the application process.
 

Will my student get confirmation of their degree and diploma information?

Yes, each degree candidate will receive an email in the Fall noting their applied degrees, diploma name, and FERPA status.
 

NEW Masters in Passing Audits


Our office has added a few queries to help you track your masters in passing students. These queries have been added to your GSAS Department Workcenter. Please reach out if you have questions or would like additional or different information.

Active PHDs with Masters -This query identifies your active PhD candidates who have masters in any status (whether already awarded or recently activated).  It notes the graduation status (eligible or applied) for both the PhD and the Masters along with the given expected graduation term for each.

Applied PhDs with Masters - This query identifies PhD candidates who have applied for the current degree term and who also have masters in any status.  This can be used to ensure that your applied PhD candidates also apply for their masters.  We reach out directly to that population.

Active Masters in Passing - This query identifies active PhD candidates with active masters in passing which have not been awarded. The degree checkout status for the masters identifies if it has been applied or is still eligible to apply.

Please note: Our office is reaching out directly to students with active unapplied masters in passing to ensure that they understand they have created the masters but not applied it for graduation. We’re reminding them of the application deadline and encouraging them to apply for a November degree if that is their intention.

Students who do not apply by the deadline will have their expected graduation terms bumped to May 2022 but will still be able to apply for a March 2022 degree if they’d like.
