Please begin work on this checklist in the first weeks of the semester in which you plan to graduate:

• Email Migen Prifti to make an appointment:              

mprifti@ccny.cuny.edu

• Apply for graduation on CUNYFirst by the deadline that is posted on the Academic Calendar. There are three auditing periods for graduating students:
• Spring — degrees conferred June 1
• Summer — degrees conferred September 1
• Fall — degrees conferred January 1 or February 1
   
• Check with Program director the following dates and deadlines if any or all are required of your MA program:
  • Thesis* submission (It usually is on May 7, August 7, December 7 unless “7“ falls on Friday, Saturday or Sunday.)
  • Foreign Language Exam** is coordinated by the Classical and Modern Languages of ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ (e-mail to Program Directors is sent every semester)
  • Comprehensive exam***
     
• Submit to my office by the deadline the following:
  • Program Completion checklist signed by Program Director
  • Thesis signed by all respective reader(s)
    • *Department-approved cover page
    • *Thesis hard copy in black binder
    • *Upload thesis on ****   

Other matters to attend to:

• Make sure you don’t have any grades of INC grades, because that will prevent you from graduation.
• Make sure that you have the total required credits for your program by the end of the semester
• Make sure that transfer credits (e-permits, mobility semester, Study Abroad, Advanced Standing, etc.) are posted well before the deadline to submit your thesis* and program clearance form.
• Commencement: There are two ceremonies each year in which H&A graduates are allowed to participate: one organized by Student Affairs and the other by the Division itself. If you would like to participate in both, you need to respond to both invitations sent to your ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ e-mail separately. You purchase only one cap and gown for both ceremonies.
