The best time to participate in an exchange program is during the year before your graduating year, your U2 year. This would give you the opportunity to complete at least one year in your program(s) of study at 看片视频 prior to departure. You would return to 看片视频 with an enriched educational perspective to complete your remaining degree and program requirements.

1. Consider the following before going on an exchange program:

Studying away can have a significant impact on your academic career. The following are some questions you should be asking:

• What is the language of instruction at the host university?
• Do you want to study away for a year or one term?
• How many credits do you have to complete for your degree and for each of your declared programs?
• When do you expect to graduate? Will you graduate within the degree time limit?
• Will you exceed your minimum credit requirement?
• are you planning on making an inter-faculty transfer to another faculty at 看片视频, if so, please check with that faculty to make sure you will still be eligible to transfer and still go on an exchange.
• If your course selection is unavailable at the host university will you be "out of step" with your program requirements upon returning to 看片视频?
• Are you听on a student visa; and if so, when does it expire?
• Will you have to extend your degree at 看片视频 if you don't receive as many transfer credits as expected, or as many direct course equivalences as expected?

2. Review Faculty policies:

Since your participation in an exchange program may be affected by certain faculty policies, use the following links to read and understand about Science or B.A. & Sc.听course and degree requirements:

• Course requirements

General degree requirements:

• B.Sc. general degree requirements
• B.A. & Sc. general degree requirements

3.听Review听听Transfer credit policy.

4. Meet with your departmental academic adviser(s):

You are strongly encouraged to make an appointment with each of your departmental advisers to discuss your plans to participate in an exchange program. Consult the Program听Adviser听list for names and email addresses for each program and/or department.

With your adviser(s):

• discuss your selected host university and courses;
• discuss your required and complementary courses, and any alternatives, which will count toward your departmental programs at 看片视频. Discuss elective courses and possible exemptions from specific 看片视频 courses as a result of your exchange program;

Uninformed decisions are often made when:
It doesn't seem all that important which choice you make.
The problem is not that complex and the decision doesn't have large consequences.

• You can make uninformed decisions intuitively, impulsively or randomly.
• None of these methods of decision-making is necessarily inappropriate.
• For example, you might decide intuitively to wear your raincoat because you have a feeling that it might rain.
• You might decide impulsively to go to a concert at the very last minute.
• You might pick your choice of movie randomly by flipping a coin.
• If your decision involves more complexity and has larger consequences, you should make an informed decision.

Informed decisions:

1. Lead to focused, planned action.
2. Are the result of gathering information, identifying alternatives, visiting your values and designing strategies.
3. Choosing your departmental program of study, or where you want to live, are both examples of consequence-holding decisions that can benefit from informed decision-making.

Let's try this method out on an academic problem.

Scenario: Susan is enrolled in five courses for the fall semester. She is struggling with one of her 3-credit required courses and is worried that she might fail it. The withdrawal deadline with refund has already passed, but the withdrawal deadline with no refund is still one week away. She is unsure if she should withdraw from the course or not. Her finances are tight and she doesn't want to have to pay to repeat the course if she does withdraw. On the other hand, she is concerned about the effect of a low grade on her average. She is also extremely stressed and is having trouble sleeping and eating as a result of this stress.

1. What is the problem?
Identifying and naming the problem.

Problem 1:
Susan is struggling academically with the course.

Problem 2:
She has financial problems.

Problem 3:
She is experiencing stress.

2. What are the possible solutions?
Listing all possible solutions.
To withdraw from the course. To remain in the course.

3. What does Susan need to know about each of these solutions in order to pick one over the other?
Gathering information that will help her decide what to do.

Some questions she should answer:

• Is her stress caused by this problem, or by something else?
• When is the withdrawal with no refund deadline?
• What would the withdrawal look like on her record?
• Would the withdrawal affect her average?
• What are the implications of having a withdrawal on her record?
• Must she make up the 3 credits in the next semester, or can she do it later?
• What minimum grade does she need in the course?
• If she stays in the course and gets an "F", to what extent will this affect her average?
• Can she obtain extra help to try and improve her performance in the course?
• What are possible sources of extra help?
• If the extra help isn't free, can she afford to pay for it?
• How important is completing this course this term to her?
• What effect will not completing it, or failing it, have on her winter course choice?
• Is it a prerequisite for any of her winter term courses?
• Are there additional questions she should answer?

4. What would the result be of choosing to withdraw? To remain in?
Identifying the outcome of each solution by listing the advantages and disadvantages of each.

Susan now lists the advantages and disadvantages of each solution.

Solution 1 - Withdrawing:

Solution 2 - Remaining in:

5. How to decide which decision to choose?
Prioritizing the advantages and disadvantages in order of their importance to her- checking her values.

Susan feels that doing well in the course is more important to her than having to pay to make up the credits, despite her tight financial situation.

She feels that it is also important to reduce her stress level, which she thinks has worsened as a result of worrying about her performance in this course. She also wants to do well in her other courses, and does not want this course to affect her other grades.

Susan has labelled each advantage and disadvantage according to its level of importance to her as follows:

MI= Most Important

I= Important

SI = Somewhat Important

NI = Not Important

Withdrawing:

Staying in:

6. Choosing the best solution:
Choosing the solution that has the greatest number of most important advantages and the least number of disadvantages.

Susan feels that there are 2 best solutions, neither of which is possible. One is to have withdrawn from the course during the withdrawal with refund period. The other is to complete the course with a strong grade.

7. What if there is no best solution:
Choosing the 'next best' solution, one that is not ideal but which she can accept and live with.

Susan chooses Solution 1 - Withdrawing.
It contains the greatest number of advantages she has labelled as MI or I, and contains only those disadvantages which she can accept.

The advantages include:

• no longer being stressed about failing the course
• having more time to study for her other courses.

The disadvantages include:

• finishing less credits this term than she had planned
• losing her tuition
• having to repeat the course

She feels this is the next best solution. She will lose her tuition if she withdraws, but she doesn't believe it is possible for her to complete the course with a strong grade. However, despite losing her tuition and having to repeat the course, she feels that this decision is acceptable to her, because the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

8. Putting her solution into gear:
Making an Action Plan.

Susan makes an Action Plan:

• Access Minerva and withdraws.
• Inform her instructor that she has withdrawn.
• Make an alternative study plan for the remainder of the semester; allot extra study time to her other courses as necessary.
• Look at her winter course choice and adjust it accordingly; consider delaying courses that have this course as a prerequisite.
• Talk to instructors and departmental advisers about winter course choice.
• Plan when she will repeat the course.
• Monitor her stress level as the term progresses; notice whether or not the withdrawal has reduced it; if not, explore other reasons for her stress level; consider talking to a counsellor about her stress level.

9. Acting:
Carrying out her action plan.

Susan completes each step of the above Action Plan.

• Accesses Minerva and withdraws.
• Informs her instructor that she has withdrawn.
• Makes an alternative study plan for the remainder of the semester; allots extra study time to her other courses as necessary.
• Looks at her winter course choice and adjusts it accordingly; considers delaying courses that have this course as a prerequisite.
• Talks to instructors and departmental advisers about winter course choice.
• Plans when to repeat the course.
• Monitors her stress level as the term progresses; notices whether or not the withdrawal has reduced it; if not, explores other reasons for her stress level; considers talking to a counsellor about her stress level.

10. Monitoring:
Observing and evaluating the results of her actions.

Susan assesses whether or not withdrawing had a positive effect on:

Her stress level:

• Is she able to eat and sleep?
• Is she able to concentrate when studying?

Her fall grades:

• Did her other grades improve?
• If so, does she think they did so as a result of withdrawing?
• Or was it for some other reason?

11. Applying what she's learned for next time:
Keeping actions which generated positive results; eliminating those that didn't.

• Susan draws conclusions about her decision by analyzing the results.
• She applies what she has learned to her next academic problem.
• She uses strategies which worked and changes or eliminates what did not.

Student Services

Successful study demands that you give yourself ample time and that during this time you keep your mind actively engaged in the learning process. Ample time for the average student means about two hours of study for each hour of class. Since the normal academic load is 15 to 16 credits, the average student will spend that many hours in class plus twice that many hours studying, totaling about 45 to 48 hours a week.

Keeping your mind actively on the job is the more difficult task. Two methods have been found helpful in this respect:

1. Read the textbook assignment before going to class in order to be familiar with the ideas and terminology presented.
2. Do not try to reproduce the lecture verbatim. Listen for ideas and be selective in what you put down. Use the outline form already designated under section I-B.
3. Do not crowd your notes. Allow plenty of space between points to keep them distinct from each other and for additions. A large-size notebook (8 1/2 x 11) is preferable to a smaller one.
4. Keep all of your notes for the current period in one loose-leaf notebook, with index tabs to identify the individual courses.
5. Review your notes as soon as possible after class; fill in and edit obscure points.

The average college student should be able to read 250 to 300 words of non-technical material per minute. If your reading speed is less than this, you are handicapped in one of your most needed skills. Check yourself on this point.

The solution to reading problems is sometimes complex and needs the attention of an expert in the field. Most people, however, can do much on their own to improve reading speed and comprehension by observing the following points:

1. Remove all visual defects. Have you had your eyes checked?
2. Force yourself (1) to read faster, and (2) to cover more words per eye fixation. Not more than 2 or 3 fixations per sentence should be necessary and once you are really good at it, you may be able to comprehend an entire sentence or even paragraph at a glance. Reading speed is to a large extent a matter of habit. By exerting conscious effort in the direction of reading faster for a period of time you can change this habit, without loss in comprehension. This matter of consciously trying to read faster is one of the most important points in the improvement of reading.
3. Your reading comprehension will be no better than your vocabulary. Build your vocabulary by keeping a running list of words you do not know. Look them up after each assignment and write down their definitions. Review this list from time to time. Usually, this method is preferable to interrupting your reading to consult the dictionary for each unfamiliar word.

Language courses offered by the East Asian Studies Department are worth 9 credits, the equivalent of 1.5 courses per term. If you intend to take a beginners course in Chinese, Japanese, or Korean, you are advised to register for 4 courses in the first term. If you find things are going well with the course during the fall term, you can always pick up a fifth course in the winter term.

If you have never studied in English before, you are strongly advised to take English as a Second Language courses in your first year. You may be able to converse easily but still find it quite difficult to read and write in English. If you are a non-anglophone student and have studied in English for four years or less, you are permitted to take English as a Second Language courses听offered by the 看片视频 Writing Centre; visit /mwc/courses/undergraduate for a list of courses.

If you would like to improve your English writing skills, you may wish to take writing and communication in English courses at the 看片视频 Writing Centre, e.g., WCOM 250 (Research Essay and Rhetoric), WCOM 314 (Communicating Science).

Note: B.Sc. students may take a maximum of 12 credits in English as a Second Language courses, including English for Academic Purposes courses.

You are permitted to take French courses in the French as a Second Language Department with the following stipulations:

1. FRSL 101 - Beginners French: This course is open only to students having no previous knowledge of French. This means that you have never successfully completed a French course in high school.
2. FRSL 207 - Elementary French: This course is not open to students who have completed Grade 12 or OAC French in Canada.
3. FRSL 211 - Oral and Written French I: Normally, this course is not open to students who completed their secondary education in Quebec. This is the minimum level at which students with Grade 12 or OAC French in Canada should place. If you have an Advanced Placement (AP) in French (minimum grade of 4 for transfer credit and exemption), you may not take FRSL 211 for credit. If you place at this level and have an AP in French Language or Literature, see your SOUSA adviser in Dawson Hall.

French bursary programs: If, prior to coming to 看片视频, you completed a French bursary program through a university, you may be eligible for transfer credits. Upon your arrival at 看片视频, you must arrange to take a placement test and see an adviser in听SOUSA in Dawson Hall. Transfer credits will not be given for French bursary programs completed through a CEGEP or college.

1. All Spanish language courses are conducted entirely in Spanish. This includes all introductory-level courses after the first week of class.
2. If you have an Advanced Placement (AP) in Spanish, you are not permitted to take HISP 210 for credit.

a) HISP 210 - Spanish Language, Elementary

If you have little or no formal training in Spanish, you will place at this level.

b) HISP 220 - Spanish Language, Intermediate

Normally, you will place at this level if you have completed one of the following:

• two years of CEGEP Spanish
• 4-5 years of high school Spanish in the United States
• "A" Level in Spanish
• first-year Spanish at 看片视频 or at another university in Canada or the United States

This will be apparent by the "C" that appears at the far left of the course number in Class Schedule where normally a tick box appears. (If ALL the courses appear closed, verify that you are in the correct term, and not a previous year!) This means that all of the places in the course are taken at that moment in time. There are two solutions to this registration error, depending on whether a) you need the course to fulfill program requirements or (b) you want the course as an elective.

(a) If you need the course to fulfill program requirements you must contact the department administering the course directly (e.g., Biology for a BIOL course, English for an ENGL course, etc.). Explain your situation to the staff person and they will determine if you are eligible for a place in the course. If the department allows you into the course they will grant you a "permit to register", an electronic indicator that is put directly onto your record that lets the student record system recognize you as eligible to register. You must still use Minerva to register after the permit is granted.

Note: If you are granted a CAPACITY permit because a course is closed, you MUST use the "quick add" feature on Minerva.

(b) If you want the course as an elective, you should not contact the department, as they must give priority to students who need the course to meet program requirements. However, it is possible during add/drop that there will be movement within the course, and if you try regularly to "quick add" the course you may be able to register because another student drops the course. If the course uses the Waitlist feature, at the time you try to "quick add" and the course is still full, you will be invited to join the waitlist. If you add yourself to the Waitlist you will be notified by your 看片视频 email if a place becomes available and you are next on the list to register.

Note: Have another course in reserve in the event you are not successful adding your first choice. You may have to plan to take this elective in another term.

This happens when a specific portion (a reserved section) of the course is full. For example, a department may give 50 places for students in specific programs, and 30 places for everyone else. If you are not in one of the specific programs and the 30 places are taken, you will receive this error message. The reverse is also true: if you are in a specific program and the 50 program places are taken, you will receive this error message. The solution to this registration problem is the same as for Closed courses: see a) above if you need the course for a program requirement, and see b) above if you want the course as an elective.

This refers to courses that are limited to students in a specific academic year (U0, U1, U2 or U3). Courses with class restrictions usually have "NOTES" in Class Schedule of "Limited to U0 (or U1, U2 or U3) students".

If you are not in the correct year to permit registration, you must see the department administering the course to determine if you are eligible for a place in the class (e.g. Chemistry for a CHEM course, International Development Studies for an INTD course, etc.). If the department allows you into the course they will grant you a "permit to register", an electronic indicator that is put directly onto your record that lets the student record system recognize you as eligible to register. You must still use Minerva to register after the permit is granted.

This refers to a course that is controlled by program codes; if you are not in an appropriate program you will not be able to register.

Courses with program controls usually have "NOTES" in Class Schedule of "Limited by Program". There are two possible solutions to this restriction: (a) if the course is program controlled within the faculty you are accepted into, or (b) if the course is program controlled in a faculty you are not accepted into.

(a) An example of a program control within your faculty would be an BIOL course which is open only to Biology students. If you have been accepted into a B.Sc. degree (or the BA&SC), and you want to fulfill a Major in Biology, then you must have the program properly entered onto your record to register.

Note: You may not add programs to your record that you do not intend to follow solely for the purpose of registering in a restricted course; if you are found to have obtained a place in a limited course in this manner you will be deregistered.

(b) An example of a program control in a faculty you are not accepted into would be a Management course which is only open to students in programs in that faculty. If you plan to apply for the Minor in Management for non-Management students, you will not be able to register for any course with "NOTES" of "Limited by Program" or "For Management students only". You must select courses from those sections and terms that do not have these notes, or from those courses offered by the School of Continuing Studies (sections of 751, 761, etc. instead of sections 001, 002, etc.).

Note: If you opt for a section offered through Continuing Studies you will have to wait until August 15 to access fall courses and December 15 to access winter courses; the periods prior to these dates are for priority access for Continuing Studies students.

This refers to a course that is controlled by faculty codes, i.e. only students in specific faculties may register. If you are a B.Sc. student seeking to register in an Engineering course or an Education course you may experience this error message. Please contact the Science Office for Undergraduate Student Advising (SOUSA) Office to explain why you want to register in this course and to obtain further advice on how to proceed.

This refers to courses which require a placement test or the approval of the professor or other relevant administrator prior to registration. Courses with this type of control usually have "NOTES" in Class Schedule of "Departmental approval required" or "Adviser approval required" or "Placement test required". For example, language courses may require you to be "placed" at the appropriate level before you can register, or other courses may require you to see the professor or an administrator prior to registration. Once the department establishes your language level or your suitability to join the class, they will grant you a "permit to register", an electronic indicator that is put directly onto your record that lets the student record system recognize you as eligible to register. You must still use Minerva to register after the permit is granted.

This refers to courses (lecture activities) which have other activities "linked" to them that require you to add more than one CRN at a time. Courses with this type of control usually have "NOTES" in Class Schedule of "Must be taken with a tutorial" or "Must be taken with a lab". For example, if you are registering in a CHEM or BIOL course which have lab activities "linked" to them, a MATH course which has a tutorial "linked" to it, or to a SOCI or ANTH course with conferences "linked" to them, you must choose both the lecture activity and the linked activity and add them at the same time.

This refers to courses which have prerequisites and/or corequisites that must be satisfied before you can register. There will not always be "NOTES" in Class Schedule to warn you of existing pre- and co-requisites, so if this error message occurs it will be necessary to verify in the undergraduate calendar what courses are needed prior to registration. The solution to this problem varies depending on (a) whether the prerequisites are clearly on your record with valid grades, or (b) if the prerequisites are part of transfer credit or other types of advanced standing (i.e. not 看片视频 courses but equivalent work done elsewhere for which you've been granted credit).

(a) An example of a clear-cut case would be a MATH course that has a prerequisite of an introductory statistics course, and you have this course or its equivalent on your record with a grade of "C" or better. Please contact the department administering the course.

(b) An example of a complicated case would be a MATH course that has a prerequisite of an introductory statistics course and you have covered the material of this course at another university and have been granted transfer credit from that university. You must get the course approved using the Course equivalency system.听 Consult the Science Undergraduate Handbook chapter on Transfer Credits for detailed information on what kinds of courses are accepted and how to request a course equivalency.

Note: Prerequisite controls normally exist on courses in other faculties (Engineering, Management, Music) so it may be necessary to have that faculty verify that you have suitable prerequisite(s).

This refers to the total number of credits in a term that the student record system will allow students to register in. New students are expected to register for a normal load of 15 credits but may register for up to 17 at any given time to allow for later adding and dropping as the student makes decisions on which courses to keep and which to give up. If you receive this error message it is because you are trying to add a course with a credit weight which will place you over 17 credits in the fall or winter term. Note: It is strongly recommended that new students not exceed 15 credits per term.

Note: If you receive this error message when adding a multi-term course (a "D1/D2" full year course) to your record and you have room in the fall, it is possible that the "maximum hours exceeded" message refers to your credit load in the winter term. You must have enough room in both fall and winter terms before registering in full-year courses.

• Internships allow students to gain experience in areas relevant to their fields of study.
• Internships are only open to U2 and U3 students in good standing, normally after completing 30 credits of a 90-credit program or 45 credits of a 96 to a 120-credit program, who have a minimum CGPA of 2.7 and permission from the departmental Internship Adviser.
• Internships will normally not fulfill program requirements for seminar or 400-level courses.
• Internships involve a minimum of 150 hours of work with an approved host institution or organization and provide a vehicle for allowing students to gain up to 3 credits towards their degrees.
• At the completion of the internship, students must submit a major topical paper that discusses an aspect of the Internship from an academic perspective.

B.A. & Sc. students can apply to this program by following the steps and听submitting the required forms听described in the Independent Study Away听section of this handbook.

1. B.A. & Sc. students must complete the following components of the program:
   • Seminar I (four credits)
   • Seminar II (four credits)
   • Internship
   • Research project (four credits)
2. Twelve (12) transfer credits will be granted provided all the following conditions are satisfied:
   • All components must be completed with a grade of C or better.
   • If any of the grades are below C, 4 credits will be granted only for the component in which the final grade is C or better, except for the internship, for which a maximum of three (3) credits may be awarded.
   • The method of evaluation for each seminar course and the research project must consist of written exams or term papers. Students should confirm this requirement before registering in the program.
   • Students must arrange for The Dean of the Washington Semester Program at the American University to send a letter that includes a Grade Report Summary directly to the Student Affairs Office of the Faculties of Arts and of Science. The Grade Report Summary must confirm the satisfactory completion of the program with a grade of C or better in each of the two seminar courses, the internship and the research project.
3. Students who satisfy the four conditions above and wish to apply to receive three (3) additional credits for the internship must proceed as indicated below.
   • Submit a letter specifying the reasons for requesting transfer credits for the internship and indicating how the internship relates to their academic program(s) to the Associate Dean of the Faculty of Science.
   • Arrange to have the internship supervisor send a letter that indicates the academic nature of the internship (analytical content and method of evaluation) as well as an evaluation of the student鈥檚 performance directly to the Associate Dean of the Faculty of Science. Students should request the Student Affairs Office to send a copy of this letter to the department in the Faculty of Arts or Faculty of Science that will evaluate the internship (see #3 below) and to their program adviser(s).
   • Arrange to have the departmental/program academic adviser in the most appropriate department in the Faculty of Arts or Faculty of Science evaluate the letter from the internship supervisor as well as all the written assignments and term papers of the internship.
   • If the internship is approved for three (3) transfer credits, ask the departmental/program adviser to sign the Course Approval Form.

• These internship and field study courses will be assessed according to the transfer credit policies for study away.
• Students must provide information regarding course content and the method of evaluation to the departmental/program academic adviser who will assess the course.
• Students must arrange for the host university to send an official transcript that provides course numbers and letter or numerical grades directly to the Science Office for Undergraduate Student Advising (SOUSA) Office.

Make sure you have completed these steps and satisfied these requirements. See your SOUSA adviser if you have questions or have trouble making a change on Minerva.

1. Apply to graduate on Minerva in your final year. Deadlines vary, and can be a few months before graduation. Do this when you are pretty sure when you will graduate. Note that applying for graduation does not affect your ability to change your courses or your programs, and you do not have to wait for your final grades to show on your transcript, even if you have deferred an exam from a previous term.
   
   Select the correct term of graduation:
   Winter = May graduation, June convocation
   Summer = October graduation, November convocation
   Fall = February graduation, June convocation
   This should show near the top of your Minerva transcript, on the right.
   If you cannot select the term you want on Minerva, contact your SOUSA adviser. Do NOT select any other term that is "close"!
   See the Convocation and Diploma site for instructions on attending convocation and getting your diploma.
   听
2. 120 credits minimum total required for Bachelor degree. Shows at bottom of transcript under "Total Credits".
   听
3. Foundation year requirements met (non-CEGEP students), even if you were admitted into U1.
   If you received 24 or more advanced standing credits and were accepted into U1, you are still responsible for ensuring that your foundation year sciences are complete. The Foundation program requires seven (7) courses!
4. Residency requirement is met (minimum 60 看片视频 credits not including the foundation year program). Also, 2/3 of program credits - for each program - must be taken at 看片视频.
5. Correct program(s) on transcript in final term.
   Verify your Minerva transcript. You cannot graduate with an incomplete program on your record in your final term. If you do not intend to complete a program, drop it. Also, you will not graduate from a program if it is not listed in your final term. (Management minors can be an exception, we sometimes add those late).
   If you think you are in an Honours program, it should say so on your transcript. If it does not, see your program adviser.
   听
6. All programs completed. Check with your program advisor(s).
   Please check this early enough to make course changes if needed.
   听
7. Max 18 credits outside Arts and Science allowed. Some programs can exceed this limit.
   听
8. No restricted courses outside Arts and Science! Check our list of restricted courses.
   If you take a course outside Arts or Science and it is on the Approved list, that is ok. If it is on the Not Approved list (or not listed at all), you may not get credit. See your SOUSA adviser.
   听
9. All transfer credits from study away or exchange show on your transcript.
   This is why students cannot graduate in the same term they have an exchange or study away. The credits will not arrive in time.
   听
10. S/U option 鈥� max allowed is 10% of your 看片视频 credits. Only for electives!
    If you did and exchange year and only did 90 credits at 看片视频, then you can only have a max of 9 credits with the S/U option. Cannot be used for program or foundation year courses.
    听
11. Repeated courses only get credit once if passed more than once. Watch your credit total, especially if you are repeating a course where you already earned a D grade!
    If you are repeating a topics or research project course, be sure to contact your SOUSA adviser to verify that you will get credit twice. Otherwise you may not!
    
    How can you tell if you are getting credit? Once the grade is on your transcript, you will see [A] [I] or [E] beside it.
    [A] - included in CGPA but excluded from credit count
    [I] - included in CGPA and included in credit count

Make sure you have completed these steps and satisfied these requirements. See your SOUSA adviser if you have questions or have trouble making a change on Minerva.

1. Apply to graduate on Minerva in your final year. Deadlines vary, and can be a few months before graduation. Do this when you are pretty sure when you will graduate. Note that applying for graduation does not affect your ability to change your courses or your programs, and you do not have to wait for your final grades to show on your transcript, even if you have deferred an exam from a previous term.
   
   Select the correct term of graduation:
   Winter = May graduation, June convocation
   Summer = October graduation, November convocation
   Fall = February graduation, June convocation
   This should show near the top of your Minerva transcript, on the right.
   If you cannot select the term you want on Minerva, contact your SOUSA adviser. Do NOT select any other term that is "close"!
   See the Convocation and Diploma site for instructions on attending convocation and getting your diploma.
