For those of you who would like to graduate in summer 2012, the time to apply is NOW. The OAG is available online from today, January 17th through February 29th. Please note that it is FREE to apply to graduate from January 17th - February 15th. From February 16th - 29th, there will be a $50 late application fee charged to your student account. After February 29th, you will not be able to apply to graduate in summer 2012, and will have to wait to apply to graduate in fall 2012. Note that this applies only to NEW summer 2012 degree applicants. If you have filed a degree petition in a past semester (spring 2012 or before) but did not/will not graduate and would like to reactivate your degree petition for summer 2012, you will need to do so using the old paper degree petition no later than May 18th.
So, if you would like to file a new application for graduation in summer 2012, here are the steps that you need to follow. Please note that this new system relies on YOU to be responsible for following through with all the steps. Don't do it? You won't graduate.
1. Familiarize yourself with the new OAG. Go to http://registrar.gatech.edu/students/oag.php and read through the information. A downloadable instructional PDF can be printed out here: http://registrar.gatech.edu/docs/pdf/oaghta.pdf.
2. Complete the OAG via OSCAR. Instructions on where to access the OAG in OSCAR are in the document listed in #1. (OSCAR> Student Services & Financial Aid> Student Records> Apply to Graduate) If your major is listed incorrectly or you have a declared minor that is missing, STOP IMMEDIATELY and email the Office of the Registrar Degree Certification team at dc@lists.gatech.edu. If your minor is not appearing because you haven't yet declared it, then you must do that first (refer to instructions in point #1 with information on how to do this).
3. Once you hit "submit," continue on to the Georgia Tech Exit Survey, using the link provided.
4. Schedule a *HALF HOUR* advising appointment with Dr. D'Unger at www.advising.gatech.edu. This must be done no later than February 29, 2012.
5. Access the online HTS post-graduation contact form here and the HTS undergraduate exit survey here. PRINT OUT BOTH FORMS AND COMPLETE THEM. BRING THEM TO YOUR ADVISING APPOINTMENT WITH DR. D'UNGER.
In sum, you must complete the OAG, fill out the Georgia Tech exit survey, have a 1/2 hour appointment with Dr. D'Unger, and turn in both the HTS contact form and HTS exit survey to Dr. D'Unger (at the advising appointment) in order to be eligible to graduate in summer 2012. The same policies and procedures will be in place for all subsequent semesters, with intended fall 2012 graduates doing this in May. Questions? Email Dr. D as soon as possible.
