- Talk to an Advisor - Students should discuss their interest in pursuing a minor/GIS with their advisor and determine how to best incorporate it into their program of study.
- Submit the Form - Students should submit a Minor and Graduate Interdisciplinary Specialization form in GRADFORMS. The form serves as the student’s application. The coordinator of the minor/GIS will be notified to review the application, and the student’s advisor will receive an email notice that the student submitted the form.
- Form Approval - If the student is accepted into the program, the chair of the minor/GIS program will approve the electronic program form. This action routes the form to the Graduate School.
- Confirmation - Once the Graduate School confirms the decision, the student will receive a confirmation email.
- Curriculum Approvals - The student must adhere to the curriculum of the minor/GIS program as indicated on the program form. If changes in the approved curriculum are necessary, the student must have the change approved by the minor/GIS program, which will notify the Graduate School. Departures from the approved minor/GIS program could result in the specialization not appearing on the student’s transcript.
- Transcript Designation - The deadline to submit the Transcript Designation Form coincides with the Application to Graduate deadline. When the student plans to graduate or has completed the minor/GIS program, they must complete the transcript designation form in GRADFORMS for final review. Once reviewed and approved by the minor/GIS program and the Graduate School, the designation will be posted to the student’s academic record.
