At the time the student is admitted to the major in social work, he or she meets with the BSW program coordinator to review the degree audit and confirm the plan of coursework necessary to complete the degree. 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.
