Advancement to Candidacy, Environmental Studies
Program
WHAT ARE THE PROCEDURES FOR FILING TO GRADUATE?
Students must have classified standing, meaning have a filed and approved
Study Plan, prior to filing for graduation. Advancements to candidacy
occur after a request is filed for a graduation check.
WHEN DO I APPLY FOR A GRADUATION CHECK?
Graduation checks must be filed in the semester before you intend to graduate.
For example, for a Spring 2003 graduation, a graduation check must be
filed early in the Fall 2002 semester. There is a $40 fee required and
it is paid to the Cashier’s Office in University Hall, forms are
found Graduate Studies Office (MH-103) or Admissions and Records (LH-114).
No signatures, except the students, are required for this paperwork.
If you have missed the deadline, complete a “Late Grad Check”
form, pay the $20 late fee and submit it to Graduate Studies.
HOW DO I KNOW IF I’VE COMPLETED THE DEGREE REQUIREMENTS?
Graduate Studies will send the ENST Program the files for all candidates
expecting to graduate in the current semester. This will occur more than
half way through your last semester. You will be contacted by the Assistant
Coordinator should you not meet the degree requirements. As a follow up,
Graduate Studies will send you either graduation information or your program
deficiency information.
WHEN IS GRADUATION?
Commencement ceremonies are held only in late spring (normally the end
of May). If students complete requirements during January or August, they
may participate in the spring ceremony.
WHERE DO I GET MY ANNOUNCEMENTS, REGALIA AND TICKETS?
Information is available online at the University’s website www.fullerton.edu
or through Titan Shops.
WHAT IF I AM NOT GOING TO GRADUATE WHEN I THOUGHT I WOULD?
If you anticipated graduation in Spring according to your original Grad
Check, but realize you won’t actually be finished until Fall; you
must submit a Grad Check Update. There is a $10 fee required and it is
paid to the Cashier’s Office in University Hall, forms are found
Graduate Studies Office (MH-103) or Admissions and Records (LH-114). No
signatures, except the students, are required for this paperwork.
Note: Instead of submitting a Grad Check Update each semester and paying
$10 each time, if you are not going to graduate for several semesters,
update your Grad Check for your anticipated semester graduation date to
save money.
WHAT IF AM GOING TO GRADUATE DURING THE SUMMER?
Summer candidates must have their Grad Check current and apply for a “Petition
for Summer Completion.” This form can be picked up at Graduate Studies
(MH-103) and must be signed by the Project/Thesis advisor and then the
Coordinator.
WHEN ARE PROJECTS DUE?
Projects are due to the Coordinator the last day of finals by 5 pm the
semester you are graduating. Should you not meet this deadline you will
need to register for GS-700 to maintain continuous enrollment.
WHEN ARE THESES DUE?
Due to the Thesis review and binding process, Theses must be
submitted to Graduate Studies several weeks prior to the semester end.
Please see the Coordinator or Graduate Studies for exact dates. Theses
are due to the Coordinator and Bookstore (one to each) the last day of
finals by 5 pm the semester you are graduating. Should you not meet this
deadline you will need to register for GS-700 to maintain continuous enrollment.
WHAT DO I NEED TO TURN IN WHEN I SUBMIT MY PROJECT OR THESIS?
When submitting your Project or Thesis to the ENST Program, please include
the following:
1. An original bound Project (spiral, comb, ring or other) or Thesis (hard
bound by the University) and signed by the faculty advisor.
2. A Project/Thesis Completion Form signed by the faculty advisor and
student.
3. A change of grade card should be submitted for those students who have
received an “SP” for their Project/Thesis or any other course
work.
