Courses of study
Going on leave
In your professional quarter you may choose to go on leave, so that you don't have to pay tuition. Because of visa requirements, international students may not go on leave while they are a student, they must stay registered for at least 2 credits. To go on leave you need to turn in a request to go on leave form to Schmitz Hall by the fifth day of the quarter, along with a $35 check. This form must be signed by both the Grad Program Coordinator and the student before it's turned in. (If you don't do this then you will need to re-apply to the UW and be re-admitted before you can enroll again.) If you have any financial aid out you will also need to complete a "Required Off Site Education" form. This form gets signed by the student, then sent to Sue Bruns (who will send it on to the Grad School).
Satisfactory Progress
Applying for your degree
In your final quarter of your third year: You must complete the on-line application for your masters degree. You can apply for your degree starting the first week of the quarter. They will ask if you're in a thesis program, and you are. For your thesis title, use:
- "the design of (either scenery, costumes or lights) for PLAY TITLE by AUTHOR"
You have until the 7th week of the quarter to complete the on line application, but it will only take you a couple of minutes so it would be great to file early and get it done. No charge. Trying to file for your degree after the 7th week will mean at least a $250 charge, plus delays.
Commencement registration starts in early May, and their web site has information on signing up to walk in the ceremony, reserving tickets for guests, etc. Commencement is entirely different from filing for your degree, signing up to go through Commencement will not work unless you have filed for your degree as above.
