The student should seek an official ruling in the Academic Programs and Student Services Office before registering if in doubt about any requirement. In the semester or summer session in which the degree is to be conferred, the candidate must be registered at the University and must apply for the degree in the Academic Programs and Student Services Office. This should be done at the time of registration for the last semester, if possible, but in no event later than the deadline given in the official academic calendar. No degree will be conferred unless the graduation application form has been filed on time. A number of graduate schools of social work grant advanced standing to students who have completed all the requirements of an accredited undergraduate social work program.
Many programs allow up to one year of credit toward the master's degree in social work.
Information about programs offering advanced standing is available in the Academic Programs and Student Services Office. Academic Calendars Office of Admissions Office of the Registrar University of Texas at Austin 27 July 2000.
