Individualized Degree Program-Announcements and Deadlines


PROPOSAL AND GRADUATION DUE DATES:

IDP proposals ideally should be submitted at least one year prior to graduation. The earlier you develop your proposal, the more choices you have! And please remember, there is a requirement that you have hours left to complete within your IDP program when the proposal is signed by the department chair. The number varies according to the IDP program you choose: 21 for an IDP extended major, 15 for an IDP major, and 6 for an IDP minor. (Refer to the guidelines for other specific requirements for each program.)

We strongly encourage early advising and submission of IDP proposals. At the same time, the following deadlines for submitting completed IDP proposals to our office apply:

SPRING 2008 graduates: October 24, 2007. Extended through October 31, 2007.

SUMMER 2008 graduates: February 20, 2008.

FALL 2008 graduates: March 5, 2008

The deadlines are timed to increase the probability you will receive a CAPP report in time to correct any unforeseen difficulties when you register for your final semester. To be considered complete at the time you submit your proposal to our office, the proposal should be signed by your faculty mentor and chair. Remember, your Center advisor, the dean and the director will still need to review your proposal after it is submitted.

Proposals received after the deadline will be considered on a case by case basis. Proposals will NOT be accepted after the last day of the semester prior to the semester in which you intend to graduate.

PLEASE NOTE: In addition to submitting your signed IDP proposal to our office, candidates for graduation must apply to graduate in the registrar's office. See the Registrar's web site for dates.
