If your graduation date is May 2009, you should recently have received an email with directions on completing the online application to graduate. If you are accelerating or, for some other reason, did not receive the email, please let DoraLee Woodin know. The deadline for submitting both parts of the application is October 27th.

Details of the application are as follows: The application has two parts, fulfillment of College requirements and fulfillment of major requirements, and is due by Monday, October 27th.

The contents of, and procedure for filling out, the two parts of the application to graduate are as follows:

In Part I, you will see your DUST (Distributed Undergraduate Student Tracking) report, which shows which distribution requirements you have fulfilled. You will also see a chart of all of the courses and credits you have taken, term by term and in total. Last, you will see and respond to a series of questions about the fulfillment of other College requirements.

After you submit Part I, an email will be sent confirming the submission and providing a pdf file of the submission. You will be asked to make an appointment with your advisor to fill out Part II, major requirements, and to prepare for that appointment by putting together a list of courses you have taken for the major.

To get to Part I of the application to graduate, go to http://data.arts.cornell.edu/grad/grad_app.cfm.

(Please note that if you have more than one major, you must meet with each major advisor to fill out a Part II for each major. If you are a dual degree student, you must meet with Kay Wagner, as well as with your advisor. External transfer students and students who have studied abroad should take transcripts of their non-Cornell courses to their advisor meeting(s)).

When you and your advisor meet, your advisor must click on the Part II link in the email s/he received to be able to get to the form. Then you and s/he can fill out the form, which contains a series of questions about courses you have taken for the major. If you have declared one major, there will also be a section on the electives requirement. If you have more than one major, you are exempt from the electives requirement.

If you have problems filling out the Part I, please contact Brenda Lind bll2 or at 255.4833; and if you and your advisor have problems filling out the Part II, please contact Maria Davidis at mmd42 or 255.4833.
