| IMPORTANT POINTS CANDIDATES MUST KNOW
WHEN APPLYING FOR GRADUATION: |
- All candidates’ academic records are checked for conformance
to their Graduate Approved Program (GAP), for achievement
of requirements stated in Title V of the California Code
of Regulations, and compliance with University requirements
as stated in the SFSU Bulletin.
- All course work required to make-up Incomplete (I) or
Satisfactory Progress (SP) grades must be submitted to the
instructor prior to the date of graduation. The official
“Petition for Grade Change” and/or “Report
of Make-up of Incomplete” must be on file in the Registrar’s
Office no later than two weeks after the date
of graduation and must indicate that the work was completed
prior to the last day of instruction (check the University
Calendar). If official transcripts showing
final grades are required from other institutions, they
must be sent to the attention of the “Continuing Student
Services Coordinator” in the Graduate Studies Office within
three weeks after the last day of instruction.
- Notice of award of degree will be mailed within 90 days
after grades have been posted, once official verification
of completion of degree requirements has been concluded.
Official transcripts showing award of degree may be requested
from the Registrar’s Office any time after receipt of the
official notification of award of degree. Diplomas will
be mailed approximately six months after graduation.
- If applying for a credential concurrently with a degree,
obtain the credential application in BH 259. Questions regarding
award of credentials should be directed to the Credential
Office.
- As a result of filing for graduation, a student will not
receive mail registration material as a continuing student
for next semester. If a student discovers that he/she will
not be able to earn a degree in the semester he/she applied
for graduation, and needs to enroll in the following semester
for classes, the student must go to the Registrar's Office
in SSB to request permission to enroll for the next semester.
- Students who are denied their graduate
degree must re-file the Application for Graduation and pay another $40 fee to be
considered for a subsequent semester.
