To all graduating students,

Be advised that we have a new requirement for ALL  graduating students:

You must complete the Graduating Student Exit Survey.  This survey is designed to be completely anonymous, so please be candid with your answers. We will be using the data garnered from this survey for statistical and accreditation purposes as well as at looking for ways to improve the overall Graduate School experience for all graduate students.

The survey should take no more than 10 minutes to complete.  When you do so please follow the instructions shown in the completion page.  We can not clear you for graduation until you complete the survey.
