Staff Graduate Advisors are expected to complete master’s degree check sheets for all students who have completed the requirements to earn a master’s degree in their department’s degree program(s).
Verify the student has met all departmental requirements specified on the check sheet. You may log in on Gold as an emulator to access the courses students previously completed.
Confirm the total number of required units has been met.
Verify that University requirements have been met.
List completion dates for any projects, comprehensive exams, thesis approval, and language exams
Indicate any course substitutions/waivers
Indicate the quarter and year master’s requirements were satisfied
Requirements must be completed by the filing deadline for a particular quarter.
Verify the student has an Unconditional Admission status in the Admission Unit’s Online Application Review System (App Review)
If a student still has a Provisional Admission status, their degree cannot be awarded until they clear this with the Admissions Unit.
After check sheets have been signed by the Faculty Graduate Advisor or Department Chair, the completed check sheets should be submitted to the Graduate Division at: gradacademics@graddiv.ucsb.edu.
1-2 weeks prior to the Registrar’s final degree list submission deadline, the Degrees Awarded Report on GradPoint Academics should be reviewed for accuracy, and the GDASU staff should be contacted immediately if any students are missing from the report (we send a reminder email will be sent to GPAsto staff advisors and will provide you with instructions).
Faculty Graduate Advisors or Department Chairs are expected to sign the master’s degree check sheets verifying the check sheets accurately reflect:

the dates milestones were met
the degree quarter
their approval of any noted exceptions (substitutions/waivers)
