A
student submits an application for graduation at the mid-point of
the semester immediately preceding the semester in which he or she
anticipates completing all degree requirements (course work and capstone
paper). The graduation application is completed in consultation with
the MPA Program Director, who certifies the courses completed (graduation
checksheet); courses yet to be completed and approximate time frame
for completion of the capstone paper. Upon approval by the Director
and the Chair of the Department of Political Science, the application
is given to the Registrar by the student along with payment of graduation
fees.
