THE 411: GRAD TIPS: FROM FRESHMEN TO SENIORS

Put in four years of classes, a few finals, and couple of late nights and you have graduation, right? Well, maybe not as simple as that. Here are some things to keep in mind as you get closer to graduation.

Prior to final year
1. Check with your department to verify you have the correct Degree Requirement Evaluation sheet for graduating.
2. Make an appointment with your advisor to answer any questions about class availability for future quarters.
3. If you are planning to complete a minor, submit the Minor Contract to the Registrar's Office.
4. Make sure Grade Change forms have been submitted by your instructors and monitor your academic history for changes.
5. Request that all transcripts from other colleges or universities be sent to Cal Poly Pomona.
6. Take and pass the Graduation Writing Test (GWT). http://www.csupomona.edu/~academic/testcenter/gwt.htm
7. Regularly print out your academic history and compare it with your Degree Requirement Evaluation sheet to verify you are taking the required classes.

Year of graduation
1. Submit your Grad Check when you have 10 or fewer classes remaining to graduate. Completed Grad Checks are mailed or e-mailed within 30 - 90 days. http://www.dsa.csupomona.ed u/registrar/files/grad_check2_420.pdf
2. You must apply to graduate. Fill out the Application for Graduation, which is available in the Registrar's Office, and pay the $40 fee at Cashier Services. http://www.dsa.csupomona.ed u/registrar/ApplyGrad.asp
3. The deadline to apply for graduation is normally the seventh week of the quarter in which you plan on graduating, but you should apply as early in the quarter as possible. The quarterly Schedule of Classes has the dates as does the Registrar's office Web site: http://dsa.csupomona.edu/registrar.
4. Meet with your department advisor. Some majors require a final review of classes and grades prior to graduation.
5. Pay all library fines, parking tickets, holds and outstanding payments.

Follow these steps and you're sure to be on your way! If you have any questions, please contact the Registrar's Office at (909) 869-3290, or stop by the Registrar's Office, which is located on the second floor of the CLA, building 98.
