GraduationApplication Procedures

In order for the MBA Programs Office to process your request to graduate as a Carlson MBA we need you to complete the following steps:

 

1. Complete Grad Planner - September/October 2008
Graduation Planner is an online tool for students to use as a guide in planning their academic career. The MBA Student Affairs Office requires that students submit a plan during the fall of the students second year. Use the Full-Time MBA Student Quick Start Guide to find out how to use Grad Planner. Then log into Graduation Planner to create a course plan. Upon completion e-mail the MBA Programs Registrar, Stephanie Nichols (s-nich@umn.edu), to have your plan reviewed.

Fill out the Application For Degree Form and e-mail to Stephanie Nichols, s-nich@umn.edu.  If you should have a question regarding which month to select please check with the Full-Time MBA Registrar.

 

Note: For students who are going on a spring semester abroad or who are taking a global enrichment elective at the end of their program: please select August as your graduation month on the form. This is due to the policy that a student must have ALL of their grades posted before their degree can be cleared.

 

3. Ceremony Details
The commencement ceremony is on Monday May 18, 2009 at 9:00 A.M., in Northrop Auditorium on the East Bank. An official invitation to the ceremony will be put in your mailbox in March prior to graduation. To order your cap and gown, plan to attend the University Grad Fest, at the end of March.
 
 
 
4. Timeline for Clearance
The timeline for processing clearance is late May to early June and is dependent on grade posting . Once you are cleared from the program you will receive a letter from Full-Time MBA Registrar indicating that your information has been submitted information to the Office of the Registrar for final processing. If you have no outstanding debt to the University they will mail a diploma to you in 3-4 months please contact the Office of the Registrar at 612-624-1111 or helpingu@umn.edu.
