Graduation Update

Important Fall 2004 Graduation Information

Project (only) Deadlines and Details

Submit Project to ENST Office………………………………Friday December 10, 2004
Projects are NOT submitted to the Pollak Library, but they are REQUIRED to be hard bound. You must ensure that a hard bound copy of your project is printed for the ENST office and that you have personally made special arrangements to have the Titan bookstore send a copy directly to the ENST office when it is ready. Please refer to the new Project Guidelines Manual, which is now available on the ENST website in PDF format. Most of your questions should be answered there.

What is due for the ENST Office by no later than December 10th:

• Notification of Completion form (form available on-line)
• Hard bound copy of project with approved and signed title page (or receipt from Titan bookstore produced as proof that the project has been submitted for binding).
• Be sure to remind any of your advisors to submit grade change forms to our office if you have any SPs or RPs rather than grades for your project or any other coursework.

Thesis (only) Deadlines and Details

Submit Thesis to Graduate Studies Office…………………..Friday December 3rd , 2003
Your Thesis must be entirely finished and ready to hand in by December 3rd so that the Graduate Studies Thesis Reader can review your thesis. The Thesis Reader will be looking for all of the formatting issues that are set out in the Thesis Manual that is published by the Grad Studies Office. This means that your thesis will need to have been reviewed and signed off by your advisor and both committee members in advance of this deadline.

Deposit Thesis in Bookstore and ENST Office…………….Friday December 17th , 2003
Once you have made all of the necessary adjustments to your thesis as required by the GSO Thesis Reader, you will need to submit your thesis to the Titan bookstore for binding. You must ensure that a hard bound copy of your thesis is also printed for the ENST office and that you have personally made special arrangements to have the bookstore send a copy directly to the ENST office when it is ready.

What is due for the ENST Office by no later than December 17th:

• Notification of Completion form (form available on-line)
• Receipt that proves you have submitted your thesis for binding at the bookstore (expect the binding process to take at least one month) and confirmation that a copy will be sent to the ENST office upon completion of binding process.
• Be sure to remind any of your advisors to submit grade change forms to our office if you have any SPs or RPs rather than grades for your thesis or any other coursework.

Graduate Studies Website - http://www.fullerton.edu/graduate/ Have you taken a look at the Grad Studies Website lately? From this Website you can download the forms that you will need to graduate and find useful information pertaining to graduate deadlines and guidelines.

Grad Checks It is required that students intending to graduate apply at least one semester prior to commencement. There is a fee involved. The deadline for submitting the Grad Check is typically set just prior to beginning of the semester in which you intend to graduate.

Grad Check Update If you have already submitted a Grad Check, but will not graduate when you intended, you will need to submit a Grad Update form to the Admissions Office before you will be able to register and maintain continuous enrollment. There is a fee required and it must be paid to the Cashier’s Office in University Hall. Forms can be found in the Graduate Studies Office (MH-103) or with Admissions and Records (LH-114). No faculty/advisor signatures are required, except for the student’s, for this form.

GS-700 Since students are required to maintain continuous enrollment in order to stay in the program, they must register in GS 700 either through University Extension (reduced fee) or CSUF (at full part-time fee). Students may only enroll in GS 700 through University Extension for one semester if they are working on a project and for two semesters if they are working on a thesis. Forms to enroll in GS-700 through adjunct enrollment are available from the ENST Associate Coordinator and the Graduate Studies Office (MH-103).

Once you have met the GS-700 enrollment limit through Extended Education your name will be sent to Graduate Studies to update your enrollment in the University. Admissions and Records will change your status and you should then be able to enroll during a registration window such as TITAN 1 or TITAN 2. Please note: before you can register, you must update your grad check to your new graduation date. Should you have difficulty registering contact the Associate Coordinator or the ENST Secretary.

Project Binding Please note that as of the Fall 2003 semester, ALL students are required to submit a hard bound copy of their projects or theses to the ENST office upon completion. Be sure to pick up a copy of the Project Guidelines Manual from the Associate Coordinator, or download a copy off of the ENST website. An inexpensive option for hard-binding your project can be found below:
