Because We Need More Reminders That Graduation Is A Thing

Being a second semester Senior rules, right? Applying for jobs and grad schools are a real ball, not to mention the fun of finding vague ways to answer your parents' friends' creative questions about next year.

And the thrill of Thinking About Your Future doesn't stop there: if you want to graduate in May, there's actually some stuff you have to do beyond showing up. Forms! Requirements! Deadlines! We've taken the liberty of condensing those delicious "IMPORTANT INFORMATION" emails into steps even a second semester Senior can manage. All this and more, after the jump.

Here's the breakdown of what needs to get done and when:

1. Official Worksheet. This baby needs to be completed, which means filling in all bubbles for sector requirements, major and minor requirements, and the proper amount of course credits (CU requirements per major are listed here). Then go talk to your major advisor, who can help you clear up the confusing stuff and make sure that everything is officially squared away. Don't forget that the last day to add courses is this Monday, January 31.

2. Declare Your Minor (if you have one). The process varies among departments, but the deadline is the same: Friday, February 4. I do declare, this part is very straightforward.

3. Graduation Application. Because they know how much we love applications, they've created one for graduation itself. Once you've done all that other stuff, you can fill it out here. If you don't, you will face the serious penalty of a $25 late fee, so get that shit done.

And that's pretty much it. Please direct any difficult questions to people who are actually employed by the University.
