Regular Progress, Forms, Graduation

The Graduate School has a very helpful web site with a degree completion checklist and electronic access to the various forms you need to file. You are expected to follow those deadlines and rules; if you have questions ask your advisor, the DGS, or the Programs Administrator. http://www.grad.umn.edu/current_students/masters/cwo.html

We have some local benchmarks and forms as well.

In March of your first year (and each subsequent year), complete the department’s form F-1, Graduate Student Progress Report.

In fall semester of your second year, complete the Graduate School’s Program Form (GS 89a.) Because this is a course-work only degree, you do not fill in the committee-members section. Students who have completed the Certificate in Technical Communication may transfer all 15 credits to the M.S.

Once the Program form is approved by the Graduate School, download their Graduation Packet which has the Application for Degree form, final report form, and spells out other important steps you must follow.
