1. Application Form (name, address, program) no later than November 9th, 2007.
2. Create Graduation Plan (print horizontally on one page).
3. Choose a program then select it online.
4. Advisor/Chair Program Approval Form (print, staple to the completed graduation plan, obtain approval signatures, then turn in to Center Hall 112) no later than November 30.
5. Two Faculty Recommendations. (absolutely no later than 11/09/2007)
You will be able to choose two faculty recommenders from pull-down menus. Before doing this, you must talk with the faculty recommenders and ask if they are willing to recommend you. When you select the two faculty on line and click submit, each faculty member will receive an automated e-mail message from David Clapp. The faculty will respond, filling in the blanks and submit the response. The OCS committee will be able to read their responses on-line.
Once you have done your part, no further action is required from you; the date you requested, and the date they responded, are recorded for the committee to review.
6. Essay.
Instructions for writing the essay are included in the application. But, since the emphasis in off-campus study must be on academic needs, bear in mind as you choose your program that you must compose an essay as an integral part of your application explaining the academic reasons for choosing the program. Without a good essay, you will not likely be approved.
7. Submit your application online by November 30, 2007.
