December 2023 - Advising - lists.it.utsa.edu

by advising＠lists.it.utsa.edu

Hello, We just wanted to pass along a few reminders about recent changes made to graduation application processes since some students are still under the impression that prior deadlines and processes are in place. The first update is that the online graduation application deadlines for undergraduate students have been updated to align with the deadlines for graduate students. This means undergrads can now apply online for spring graduation through February 15th (and for fall graduation through September 15th). The second update is that the language on the graduation application webpage was updated to clarify that students only need to submit the PDF graduation application if they have TWO majors, TWO minors, or TWO concentrations (or more than 2 of anything). Students with 1 major, 1 minor, and 1 concentration should still be able to apply for graduation through their myUTSA account. These updates can be seen on the Applying for Graduation webpage<https://onestop.utsa.edu/graduation/applying-for-graduation/>, but we ask that you please forward this information to your areas as needed as well!

Commencement & Diploma Referrals

by advising＠lists.it.utsa.edu

Hello All, Just a friendly reminder that the Graduation Help Desk (GHD) is not able to answer student questions related to Commencement or their Diplomas. Some students have been referred to the GHD recently regarding Commencement, but the GHD does not have any information related to Commencement or Diplomas other than what is posted on the Commencement website<https://www.utsa.edu/commencement/>, One Stop's Diplomas page<https://onestop.utsa.edu/graduation/diplomas/>, or on the student's graduation application in Banner (SHADEGR). These questions should be referred instead to the Graduation Coordination Office (GCO) at GraduationCoordination(a)utsa.edu<mailto:GraduationCoordination@utsa.edu> or Commencement(a)utsa.edu<mailto:Commencement@utsa.edu>. We just want to make sure students are referred to the area that can answer their specific questions that may not already be answered by one of the websites mentioned above. Please see the below information with reminders about the differences between the Graduation Help Desk (GHD) & the Graduation Coordination Office (GCO). [cid:image001.png@01DA2537.344B4CB0] Matt D.
