IMPORTANT GRADUATION INFORMATION

Dear Graduating Class of 2008:

I am writing to you on behalf of all the staff of the Center for Student Advising. We all hope you are enjoying your final semester at Columbia College and that you are looking forward to graduating this coming May.

In order to make sure you do not face any last minute hold-ups from receiving your degree on time, I am sending you the “multiple major form” as well as a “change of major form” as attachments. Please follow the following instructions in order to ensure that you will be cleared for graduation by May 21st.

• -- If you are planning on graduating with more than one major, concentration, or program, then you MUST fill out the “multiple major form” and hand into the Diploma Division in 210 Kent by Feb. 29th, 2008.
• 
  
• -- If you are planning to add another major or concentration in addition to those already listed on your academic profile in SSOL, then you MUST fill out “multiple major form” AND a “change of major form”. You will have to deliver both forms to the Diploma Division in 210 Kent.
• 
  
• -- If you intend to graduate with one major or concentration, then check your academic profile on SSOL. If your major or concentration is correctly listed, then you DO NOT have to fill out either form. I want to apologize in advance for cluttering up your in-box with yet another piece of unwanted e-mail.
• 
  
• -- If your major or concentration is NOT correctly listed in your academic profile in SSOL, then you MUST fill out a “Change of Major form” and deliver it to the Diploma Division in 210 Kent.

If you have any further questions, please consult with your Advising Dean. The name of your Advising Dean is listed in your academic profile in SSOL.

I hope the rest of your semester goes well and I am looking forward to seeing you walk across the stage on Class Day.

Sincerely,

Andrew Plaa
On behalf of the Center for Student Advising
