The plan of study is filed with the advisor who then secures the necessary signatures. After all signatures are secured, the plan is forwarded to the Graduate College by the School of Social Work. Once the Graduate College approves, an approval notice is sent to the student and the School. Once approved, modification to the Plan of Study can be made with the approval of the advisor, the Program Committee chairperson , the Director of the School of Social Work, and the Dean for Graduate Studies and Research. The advisor will let you know if a change in program form needs to be submitted.
Priority is determined by study plan requirement, projected graduation date and application date.
Do not request these courses unless you have the prerequisites and you plan to enroll once admitted. Without a timely request, students may not be admitted into one of theses courses even if the course is on the approved study plan. Students must have the plan of study approved prior to taking the examination. It is recommended that students take the examination during the semester of graduation, but they may take it earlier provided no more than 12 semester hours are left to complete after the semester in which the comprehensive examination is taken. Normally, students may not take the exam if they have not yet begun the Advanced Practicum, although the student may request special permission to do so.
