COMMONLY USED FORMS BY STUDENTS IN THE PROGRAM

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.

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.

• In the last table (at the bottom), list the remaining courses that you will need to take to complete your degree.  Again, make sure to use the correct course prefix and course number, number of credit hours, and semester/year you will take it.
