Academic Standing Certification - Students should contact the Registrar’s Office with requests to certify enrollment and student status. Students who need a letter (for employers or graduate/professional programs) noting specifically that they are in good academic standing should fill out this form and submit it to the School of Continuing Studies Associate Dean for Academic Affairs at least two weeks prior to the date needed by the requestor.

Advanced Professional Certificate Tracking – Each Advanced Professional Certificate is designed as a planned, cohesive group of courses between the student and the program Associate Dean. While some programs have prescribed courses, others allow for more individualized proposals. Important: Students must be admitted formally to an Advanced Professional Certificate program and secure the advance permission of the appropriate program Associate Dean(s) for all certificate coursework during their first semester of study. A copy of this completed form must be filed with the School of Continuing Studies Academic Affairs Office before the end of the student's first semester. Advanced Professional Certificates will not be awarded retroactively.

Change of Grade – Once course grades have been posted, professors must submit grade changes via this paper form to the Associate Dean of Academic Affairs for review. Grades can be changed only because of to an administrative error (such as miscalculation or recording mistake) or when final assignments have been submitted for recorded incompletes. Students cannot submit additional or revised work after a final grade has been recorded for the express purpose of improving that grade. The paper form is available in the University Registrar office and the School of Continuing Studies Academic Affairs Office.

Graduation Application (Graduate Students Only) – During the first two weeks of their final semester, graduate students in the Master of Arts in Liberal Studies and Master of Professional Studies programs should apply for graduation by submitting their official graduation application to the School of Continuing Studies Academic Affairs Office.

Graduation Application (Undergraduate Students Only) – Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies students should consult with the degree program office about their application procedures and forms.

Privacy Waiver – Students are protected by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, a federal law that limits the information about a student shared with parties (including family members and spouses) other than that student. To waive this right, the student should complete this form and submit it to the appropriate office within the School of Continuing Studies.

Transfer Credit – With approval of both their program Associate Dean and the Associate Dean of Academic Affairs, Master of Professional Studies students can count up to 6 credits of graduate coursework completed with grades of "B" (3.00) or better at another accredited institution. Credits cannot have been applied to a previous certificate or degree. Requests should be submitted during the student’s first semester of study. Completed forms and transcripts should be submitted to the School of Continuing Studies Academic Affairs Office.

Withdrawal (Add/Drop) – After the official add/drop period has ended, students can withdraw only by submitting a paper form in person. Students cannot withdraw online, via e-mail or by calling the Registrar, and students must consult with the Associate Dean of their program to secure approval. If approved by the Associate Dean, the student is solely responsible for hand-carrying this paper form to the Registrar’s Office before the deadline. The paper form is available in the University Registrar office and the School of Continuing Studies Academic Affairs Office.
