After three years of undergraduate study at Texas A&M.
home — the good times will end soon, and graduation is
the horizon.
Preparing for graduation is a long process that
should begin two semesters before the actual com
mencement date.
The most important part of the graduation
process is ensuring that the appropriate number
of course hours have been completed.
A visit to a department adviser can clear
up any questions. If there is a problem
with credits, an adviser can help find the
answers.
Dr. Ed Walraven, senior lecturer and
undergraduate adviser for the journal
ism department, said meeting with an
adviser the semester before one
thinks he or she may be eligible to
graduate will ensure that what the
student thinks he or she needs to do
to graduate and what the adviser
says the student needs to do are the
same.
Walraven said the most common
problem is students do not meet their
residency requirement. Each A&M de
partment requires a certain number of
300- or 400-level classes.
He said many students may look at the
number of hours they have and think they
are doing great, but they may not have
enough higher-level courses.
“You have to have the right hours to get out,”
Walraven said.
Students should meet with their advisers before
it hits
on
preregistration.
While preregistering, students who believe they will
graduate the next semester must add the diploma fee to their
statements. But, while playing redial roulette, keep one thing in
mind: This is the last time.
Donald Carter, A&M registrar, said the diploma fee covers the
cost of the diploma, the final degree audit and the commencement
ceremony.
The semester before graduation can be very hectic between the
time constraints of making sure all the right classes are taken, mak
ing good enough grades to graduate and finding a job.
Each semester, a deadline is set for prospective graduates to ap
ply for graduation. Grads must go the the Office of Admissions and
Records and fill out a card with their address, college and depart
ment. Another card from the Association of Former Students re
quests information about clubs, organizations and honors, but this
form is optional.
Carter said seniors will have to pay a late fee if they do not fill
the form out before the deadline.
The Office of Admissions and Records runs final degree au
dits for all degree candidates and sends letters to candidates who
do not meet graduation requirements.
“We’ll let students know what our records indicate and what
they need to graduate,” Carter said.
Final transcripts, which are necessary for post-gradua
tion employment, can be ordered before the ceremony and
held until the degree is added to the record. Grads can re
quest the transcripts be sent to their future employers.
Now comes the hard part, the part most dreaded by col
lege students everywhere — finding something to do after
graduation.
Most students either continue study in graduate school or enter the job
market.
There are two ways this can be done: do an independent search or use
Texas A&M’s Career Center.
Dr. Leigh Turner, executive director of the Career Center, said the Career
Center helps many future graduates find jobs through on-campus interviews.
The interviews consist of employers sending recruiters to A&M to con
duct interviews instead of graduates having to come to them. Last year, the
Career Center hosted more than 38,000 interviews.
“This is one of the biggest operations in the country,” Turner said.
In exchange for a $35 fee, students who register on the Career Center’s
Website get to post their resumes on the Internet, access the job list and
schedule on-campus interview with prospective employers.

For May graduates who have not started the job hunt, Turner said,in
not too late.
Students who use the independent search method can still use manji
the Career Center’s resources, such as the library and online informal'
In the library, graduates can find information about possible careers andef
ployers for their major.
Other sources for job hunting are online job searches, where job-seete
can post their resumes and have employers contact them.
Graduation candidates should regularly check the graduation
for information, such as when to order graduation announcements,
to buy a cap and gown, and when the ceremony for their college v
held.
