Grad Session

Are you 2-3 semesters away from graduation?  A GRAD Session is for you!

GRAD Sessions are mandatory group workshops for all Arts & Sciences Seniors.  A GRAD Session should be attended one to two semesters prior to graduation.  This means if you plan to graduate in Fall 2011, you should be registering for your session in the Summer or Fall 2010.

In the GRAD Session, you will:

• Review degree requirements

• Identify remaining requirements that need to be fulfilled

• Develop a GRAD Plan for your final semesters

• Fill out the necessary paperwork to file for graduation

• Receive a short presentation on preparing for the job search by the Career Services Office
