COMMONLY USED FORMS BY STUDENTS IN THE PROGRAM

INSTRUCTIONS:

This form will be completed by your advisor when you submit your Application for Graduation.

This document must be typed.  Send it to your advisor as a Word document.

• Provide your student ID (820#) and name in the appropriate spots.
• Your "Major" is either (a) School Counseling, (b) Mental Health Counseling, or (c) Career Counseling and Placement".
• "Is this a 2nd degree?" - Delete the word "yes" or "no", depending on your answer.
• Leave "Concentration" blank.  Do not enter any text in this area.

If you are double majoring (for example, School Counselig and Mental Health Counseling), you will need to submit two forms.

Let your advisor complete the rest of the form.

Advisors: 

You will need to confirm "Yes" for the "Final Written Exam", not the "Written Comp Exam".  Also, for Mental Health Counseling majors, if they took CON 5305 (Advanced Assessment), rather than Advanced Abnormal in the Psychology Department, you will need to include the following statement in the "Substitutions" box (2nd page): CON 5305 (Advanced Assessment) is substituted for PSYG 5121.

If you decide to add a second major, aka, "dual-major" (in other words, add another program of study to your current one), there will be some classes that you will need to add to your current program of study (or "major").  You will need to discuss this plan with your advisor - and gain their approval before adding an additional program.  There will be some additional elements that you will need to complete. Please refer to THIS PAGE in the students' section of our website.

You will need to complete the form linked above and submit it to your advisor for processing. 

This form should be typed and submitted to your advisor during the semester before the semester you intend to graduate (and not during the summer).  For example, if you intend on graduating in December (the Fall), you will need to complete this form sometime during the previous Spring semester.
