If you plan to graduate in summer or fall 2012, this is what you should be doing to prepare for graduation.
Bachelors Degree Candidates
Have you:
- Filled out an Intent To Graduate Form?
You must submit an Intent To Graduate form in order for your records to be reviewed for eligibility for graduation, for your diploma to be ordered, and for your name to be printed in the commencement program. If you file electronically through My Missouri State, you will receive a confirmation message that your submission has been received as well as some additional graduation information. The electronic Intent to Graduate form will begin to allow the submission of summer and fall 2012 Intent to Graduate forms once the registration period for summer and fall 2012 opens in early April 2012. You must apply by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, June 29, 2012 if you wish for your name to appear in the summer 2012 printed program and October 26, 2012 to appear in the fall 2012 printed program.
You will be able to complete the Intent to Graduate by one of the following methods:
- online through My Missouri State (see the Commencement channel on the Academics tab)
- by fax or mail using the form located online at www.missouristate.edu/registrar/Intent.html
- in person at the Office of the Registrar (Carrington Hall 320)
If you file electronically through My Missouri State, you will receive an immediate confirmation message that your submission has been received as well as some basic graduation information in your confirmation e-mail, so this is the recommended method of submission. If you use either of the other methods, you will need to get this information yourself from the Commencement website.
- Checked your degree audit to make sure that you are ready to graduate?
Go to My Missouri State and look at a current degree audit after you register for your final semester of classes. Look for any deficiencies and incomplete grades. If you have any questions regarding your graduation eligibility, please see your academic advisor or come by the Office of the Registrar in Carrington 320 ask for assistance from a Degree Check staff member.
- Taken the University Exit Exam (formally known as the University Assessment Exam or General Education Assessment Exit Exam)?
Seniors must take the University Exit Exam. Registration for this exam takes place through the general registration system by enrolling in GEN 499. See the University Exit Exam website for further detail about the exam. Failure to complete the University Exit Exam prior to commencement will prevent a student from graduating. There is no statute of limitation on the validity of the exam once it is completed.
