Other Important Information:
If you will be graduating this semester, please notify me as soon as possible so that I can run a degree audit so that I can make sure you have met all of the requirements for the degree. We can also set up an appointment if you would like to discuss the graduation procedure or if you have any questions.

Also, please notify me if you are planning to take your Qualifier Exam II or Candidacy Exam this semester.  All graduate programs are going through an assessment as required by the Graduate School and your committees will be receiving surveys to complete after you finish your exams.  Graduate students will also be receiving surveys after the completion of the Candidacy Exam and Final Exam (PhD students) and MS Final Exam (MS Thesis students). These surveys are online through Qualtrics and you will receive an email at the appropriate time.
If you are a Ph.D. student who has already passed the Candidacy Exam, you are eligible to receive a Master's based upon the completion of the Candidacy Exam.  This can be done by going to gradforms.osu.edu and choosing the "MS" application and by checking the Candidacy box. No other information is needed.
