Senior
Information
To make sure you have completed all of the necessary requirements,
you must complete a senior checkout form from your catalog
year, and have it signed by your
advisor, department chair, and the academic programs office.
You should turn in your checksheet to the Academic Programs
Office by the end of the first 2 weeks of the semester
in which you plan to graduate. Make sure you work closely
with your advisor when filling out this form.
Also
make sure that your anticipated graduation date is correct
in UDSIS; if it is not, you can make changes at that
site.
If
you have any questions or concerns about graduation,
be sure to contact the Academic Programs Office. See also: Senior Checkout Forms
There are many services available on campus to assist
with your job search. Be sure to take advantage of these
opportunities! The Bank of America Career Services Center provides regular
career workshops and job fairs. See the Academic Programs & Student
Services bulletin board in Townsend Hall for information
about upcoming events. Another
strategy is to network! Talk to professors, faculty
advisors, and employers to find out what’s available
in your field. If nothing else, these people may be
able to provide excellent recommendation letters for
you.
Ask someone who knows you well! The best recommendation
letters come from those people who can talk about your
specific skills and contributions. Make
sure they will write you a good recommendation letter.
Do not assume that all recommendation letters will be
written in your favor. If you ask for a recommendation
from the professor of a course where you performed
poorly or rarely attended, the professor will not hesitate to write
about your poor attendance and performance.
It
is okay to ask a professor or advisor specifically if
s/he can write you a good recommendation. If they say
no, ask someone who can write a letter attesting to
your strengths and abilities.
