Dear Fall 2016 graduates:

Students that are planning to graduate in the Fall 2016 please complete your graduation check by August 25th by email (nicolet@ece.ufl.edu). 
Please use the following title in your subject line "Fall 2016 Graduation Check".   Please check your degree audit and fall schedule to verify that you have registered for the correct classes. If your audit looks weird or have red X's on your audit excluding the Additional Degree Requirements area (which is your required department exit survey), please let me know when you complete your graduation check. 


If you are planning to graduate with high or highest honor for fall 2016, please review the directions to achieve that status. If you are not working on a research by this time, it may be difficult to complete the project and thesis in one semester. If you have any questions, please email the advisor.

 - Complete your graduation check by August 25th.

-Apply for graduation by August 29th via https://student.ufl.edu/.  On the left side menu bar click on Certificate/Degree Application under My Record and follow the directions.  Please make sure your local and permanent addresses are correct for your diploma to be mailed to the correct residency.  The bookstore will start sending information to you about your regalia order.

-In mid-October, an email will be sent to your Gatorlink email address to complete the ECE Exit Survey. Please have the exit survey complete by November 18th by 5pm.
  Once I receive the majority of the fall 2016  exit survey the additional degree requirements red X goes away(see below).
ADDITIONAL DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
      - 1) IN ORDER TO BE CERTIFIED FOR GRADUATION, YOU MUST
           1) APPLY FOR YOUR DIPLOMA BY THE 1ST WEEK OF THE
