We will not be processing any change/add major/minor forms until August 3, 2009.

Any student wishing to apply for summer graduation must use the following procedure to apply:

1. Get a graduation application online at http://www.sfsu.edu/~admisrec/reg/ga.htm
2. Fill out the graduation application in the same order as your Emphasis advising form, available on the programs page. Please use the advising sheet that corresponds to your area of emphasis (i.e. Art Education, Studio, Art History, Duel Emphasis Studio, Duel Emphasis Studio/Art History)
3. Submit graduation application, copy of DARS report and copy of unofficial transcript to the art department office, FA 265, by Tuesday, July 7th. There is a 3 day turn-around to return graduation applications because there are no faculty advisors available during the early summer.

5. Pay fee at the bursars office and submit form to the registrar, all available at One Stop student services.

Please call the art department office with any questions or concerns.
