Dear Rui Qin,

Congratulations! You are in the final Semester of your college career!  I will be your contact this semester for any commencement type issues that come up.  If you are planning not to graduate this semester and have received this e-mail, please turn in a new application for graduation immediately, if you have not already done so.  Failure to do this may result in not being able to schedule the next semester. 

Graduation issues e-mail

I have sent an e-mail to students whose audits have not run complete for your graduation semester.  If you turned in your application late, you still may be getting an e-mail with an issue.   If you do receive an e-mail and know what the problem is, please contact me anyway!  You may have a different issue than what you think or may have some paperwork that has not been processed that I will want to expedite to ensure a trouble free certification of your record.  A typical issue is transfer credit that has not posted to the OSU system at this time.  If you have not sent it to admissions at this time, I am asking students who have outstanding transfer credit to bring me an official transcript in a sealed envelope. All outstanding transfer credit needs to post to the OSU system by February 4, 2013.

Transfer credit taken during the graduating quarter

If you have already scheduled a class at another institution your last semester, please see me for directions on how to proceed so that you have the best chance of us receiving your grade in time to certify you for graduation.   If you are taking classes at Columbus State Community College you will need an early grade release form, which is found on their web site.  This form needs to be turned in to the Columbus state instructor the beginning of the semester.   Because of the difference in the semester schedule, it may be difficult to get the credit in on time and you will not receive your diploma at the ceremony.  You will need to wait...
