Last day for submission of the following forms to the Registrar, 1113 Mitchell Building (University requirements):
(1) Approved Program Form (only required grad courses need to be listed, not clinic or ug prereqs)
-and-
(2) Nomination of Thesis or Dissertation Committee Form (thesis option)

Deadline for approval of candidacy paper by first and second readers (Department requirement).
YOU MAY NOT TAKE COMPS IF YOUR CANDIDACY PAPER HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED BY THIS DATE! 

ATTENTION!: Many students "split" their candidacy paper registrations, taking some credits in one semester, and the remainder in another. When this happens, the first registration will be graded as INCOMPLETE. You MUST remind your candidacy paper advisor to submit a Supplementary Grade Report for these incomplete credits when they hand in their final paper for signature. If you do not do this, you are likely to fail the degree clearance process and have your Diploma delayed. PLEASE CHECK YOUR TRANSCRIPTS AND ALERT FACULTY TO ANY INCOMPLETE GRADES THAT MUST BE RECTIFIED BEFORE THE END OF YOUR FINAL TERM IN THE PROGRAM.

Certification of Masters Degree without Thesis (non-thesis option)

1. Fill out your ASHA application (KASA form) FULLY and have your advisor check it for accuracy. 

   We have a model form that uses University of Maryland courses as examples to guide you in filling out your form. ASHA CCC application forms are available at the ASHA web site (www.asha.org). PLEASE READ instructions and the sample before filling out the application.
   

The Department keeps a permanent copy of the ASHA application in your files for your future employment inquiries. ASHA does NOT keep a copy of the application. Please fill it out completely and neatly. Dr. Ratner will NOT sign off on incomplete applications, even though only the end pages must be submitted to ASHA. THIS MEANS YOU MUST FILL OUT ALL COURSEWORK AND CLOCK HOUR INFORMATION. FORMS WILL NOT BE SIGNED WITHOUT THIS INFORMATION.

You must submit these forms TOGETHER with the other pages of the ASHA Certification application, which require Dr. Ratner's signature.

2. Please list the University of Maryland as a recipient of your NTE ASHA exam scores
   
   
3. Please provide the department with a copy of your forwarding address if you will be moving after graduation.
   
   
4. Please notify the department of your CFY site as soon as you know it.
   
   
5. Please make an appointment for an exit interview with Dr. Ratner, or complete the e-mailed exit interview that we will send you automatically. Interviews can be scheduled for anytime within the month prior to graduation, or at any time after graduation. Interviews can be held over the phone if this is more convenient, but should still be scheduled. Exit interviews help the department to identify those aspects of the program which should be improved, as well as those aspects of the program which were satisfying to you.
