Graduation Checklist
At the beginning of your final semester, you will need to start thinking about graduation. Students are advised to apply for graduation within the first few weeks of their final semester. To apply, students simply need to complete their Degree Audit Form, obtain the signature of their faculty advisor, and submit the signed form to Student Affairs on the seventh floor. There are four required workshops that students must complete for graduation from the MSW program. All workshops are offered at the Silberman SSW. The workshop schedule will be sent to all students during the fall semester. If you have questions to whether you have fulfilled your requirements or you need a list of remaining workshops, please contact the Student Affairs office at Silberman SSW.
I. Required Workshops for Graduation
Multicultural Social Work Practice and Diversity Orientation: This workshop is offered during new student orientation for all incoming students in August each year. It is also offered in January for incoming Accelerated program students. This is the first required workshop that students must complete upon entering the MSW program, as it provides a framework for much of the learning that will follow during the course of their MSW studies.
Ethics Workshop: This workshop provides an overview of social work ethics in practice. This workshop is offered to students as part of the Practice Lab.
Child Abuse and Neglect: This workshop is mandated not only by the School but also by the state as a requirement for licensure. It is offered to students as part of the Practice Lab.
Economic Literacy in the Human Services: This workshop brings in outside experts in the field who address benefit programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, TANF, and SSI, among others. It is offered to students as part of the Practice Lab. The Records Office will note your completion for graduation purposes. All students must also submit a Degree Audit Form to Student Affairs on the seventh floor during the first few weeks of their final semester in the program.
