GEMS would like to share some new updates with GPAs and GPCs as you prepare for Spring graduation:<\/p>\n
In previous quarters, GEMS has instructed departments to contact GEMS if the master’s degree code is incorrect on the master’s request. GEMS has\u00a0needed to hold\u00a0these master’s requests for manual processing with the Registrar’s\u00a0Graduation and Academic Records (GARS) unit at the end of the quarter.<\/p>\n
CAIR has made improvements to the upload process into the student database (SDB), which means it is no longer necessary for GEMS to process the degree code correction at the end of the quarter. Departments simply need to enter a departmental comment on the Master’s Request before recommending the student for graduation, such as “ATTN GEMS: Update Degree code to MUSIC-20-25.<\/strong>” With this new process, GEMS can correct the code, then return to the record the next day to process and approve the graduation.<\/p>\n Sample Master’s Request Correction<\/a><\/p>\n The two petition types related to time limits (six years<\/a>\u00a0for a Master’s; ten years<\/a>\u00a0for PhD) have been removed from MyGrad Student Petition Types. Programs will now process the time limit exception themselves if they are satisfied that the student is making good process towards their degree.<\/p>\n How to Process an Exception to Extend a Student’s Time Limit<\/a> help file.<\/p>\n GEMS’\u00a0Graduation Best Practices: Degree Audit<\/a>\u00a0instructs departments to “verify that all requirements appear OK\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>by running the Degree Audit from the Student Detail Page in MGP.” How to Allow a Different Course\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n How to Override a Grade Requirement<\/a><\/p>\n How to Waive a Course<\/a><\/p>\n How to Reject a Course and Substitute Another Course<\/a><\/p>\n Spring 2021 Graduation:\u00a0<\/b>A two-week extension for the submission of\u00a0electronic theses\/dissertations (ETDs)<\/a>\u00a0will be allowed for Spring 2021.
