We can present a workshop or webinar to a 程序 或部门 about any of the resources or services that the GRC offers, provide assistance and instructions for completing forms and petitions, and we can provide support and consultation on graduate student advising issues.

研究生 Student Advising Milestones
At New 研究生 Student Orientation, we instruct students to maintain regular contact with their graduate advisor. 至少, graduate advisors should meet with their students for an initial advising appointment, to advance them to candidacy, and to approve their application for graduation.
所有学生:
- Establish the student’s 程序 plan
- Discuss enrollment options for current and future terms
- Provide an overview of departmental requirements
For conditionally classified students*, also review qualifying course requirements:
- The courses that must be completed
- The grade that the student must earn in such courses
- The timeframe by which the student must clear their conditions
*Once conditions are met, change a conditionally classified (G1) student’s status to classified standing (G2) by completing a GS-8形式.
Advancement to Candidacy is the University prerequisite for undertaking the culminating experience (thesis/dissertation, 项目报告, or comprehensive exam). It is done through the completion of the GS-10形式.
- Discuss how the culminating experience relates to the student’s professional goals (especially if they are given a choice)
- Example: 学生 wanting to pursue a doctoral 程序 may want to consider a thesis over a comp. exam to demonstrate to an admissions committee their ability to conduct original research. 学生 wanting to pursue a professional career in their industry may choose a project to demonstrate how they can apply what they have learned in the 程序.
- Discuss what the culminating experience is designed to assess and the metrics by which it will be evaluated
- Share best practices for preparing for and/or progressing through the culminating experience
学生 申请毕业 the term prior to their anticipated graduation term. Before signing off on a graduation application, log into GET and review the student’s CAAR to check the following:
- Is the student listed in the correct option (if applicable)?
- Is the student’s catalog date correct?
- Is the student advanced to candidacy?
- Have all the course substitutions been entered on CAAR?
- Has the student completed all or almost all of his/her coursework for their 程序?
- Will the courses the student is planning to enroll in for his/her last semester here fulfill any missing requirements that are listed on CAAR?
- Is the student’s 程序 GPA a 3.0或以上?
- Are the 程序 units that the student has completed listed correctly on GET? It is always good to hand count the units the student has completed for his/her 程序 and compare those units with CAAR.
