Course-Based Master's Completion

[drager 23]

Hi,

I wanted to ask if I'm done my master's requirement in July 2020 but I have my convocation in Fall, after October 1st. I'm a considered as a grad applicant?

My understanding is that you would not be considered a grad applicant. You have to have the course-based Masters conferred (which occurs at convocation itself, I believe) to be considered a grad applicant, but could be worth an e-mail to admissions to see if there's a way you can provide proof of program completion instead. I doubt it, but seems worth a shot for the grad bonus. It is worth noting that you have to complete grad program requirements by June 30th on the year of entry as a grad applicant to be considered anyways though.

True, I'll give that a shot!

Apparently, I won't be considered as a grad applicant. Was also confirmed via email as well. With a wGPA of 3.75, I wonder if I'll be considered for a file review as an undergrad applicant.

Does this mean that if you apply as an undergrad then you don’t need to complete your course-based Master’s by the prescribed deadline/they don’t care if you complete it? Sorry I’m confused lol
