Information for Current Students
GRADUATING SOON?
If you are a MS or MPH student who is planning on graduating within the next quarter, please be sure to have Carey do a file review for you, and
remember to apply for your Master's Degree on-line at http://www.grad.washington.edu/stsv/mastapp.aspx.
Also remember to pick up your warrant before you present. Carey will be able to give that to you.
2 copies of your thesis are required from the Graduate School; one additional copy is required from us, to put in the library. It is also
customary to give a copy to the chair of your committee.
If you are a PhD student who is getting ready to graduate, have Carey do a file review for you the quarter before you intend
to graduate. Complete a Request for General Examination form, which you can obtain from the
Graduate School web site or from Carey. Acquire signatures from all your committee
members, including your GSR. The Graduate School will accept e-mail/fax signatures if necessary. The form must be submitted at least
3 weeks prior to the exam. If the Graduate School approves your request, the warrant will be sent to Carey one week before
your exam. You can pick it up from her before you present.
Course Registration:
When registering for 600, 700 or 800-level course, please remember that you will need to complete the goldenrod "Proposal for Independent
Study Registration." This form needs to be signed by the student, instructor and director; this insures that the appropriate people are
aware of your progress and have approved your course of action. This prevents any surprises when you are nearing completion of your degree.
Also, if you are signing up for 532 (fieldwork), you must also fill out an independent study proposal. THIS MUST BE DONE EVERY QUARTER THAT YOU
REGISTER FOR THESE CREDITS. AND PLEASE PUT YOUR NAME ON YOUR PAPERS!!!!!!
On-Leave Status
If you want to go on-leave for a period of time, you must first consult with your advisor/supervisory committee chairperson.
Together you will form a written plan for making progress toward the degree, including an agreement to meet
with the advisor while on-leave (by e-mail if you are not in the area), which quarter you will return, and what
coursework you will be prepared to complete when you return. You must have this paperwork completed and a copy turned in
to Carey, as well as submit your request to the Registration Office by the 5th calendar day of the quarter. You can
get the on-leave form from Carey. Fill it out COMPLETELY (yes, you must fill in the "Reason for On-Leave Status Request" lines!). Get it initialed
have it signed by the GPC (Michael Rosenfeld). Make a copy for Carey, and turn your request in to the
Registration Office at 225 Schmitz Hall, along with the non-refundable $35 fee.
