Kansas State University Academic Advising Graduate Programs

Hello master’s students, 

Students planning to complete the requirements for the master’s in science in Academic Advising in Summer 2024 should follow the steps below: 

E-mail Amy Levin Plattner
Notify me that you plan to graduate the end of the Summer 2024 semester. Deadline: May 17, 2024. 

I will submit an Approval to Schedule Final Exam form for all students that notify me they plan to graduate.  

2) Submit the graduation application
All candidates for master’s degrees must submit the graduation application via the student center in KSIS before the Final Exam form is processed. The graduation application will add students to the list of candidates for degree completion as well as update the degree/diploma name and mailing address. This is a graduation requirement by the Graduate School.  

The KSIS graduation application is available via your student center in KSIS. You can follow the instructions to complete this step at https://support.ksu.edu/TDClient/30/Portal/KB/ArticleDet?ID=61

3) Enroll in at least a one credit course at K-State
It is required that students be enrolled during the semester in which they complete degree requirements, i.e. coursework and final project. If you have completed all required coursework, there is a one credit course available (EDCEP 775), so you can be officially enrolled. Contact Amy Levin Plattner for details. The Canvas course to submit the final project is NOT a credit course. It has no work, except to submit the final project.  

4) Submit Academic Advising Final Project to K-State Online-Canvas Course by July 8, 2024
A K-State Canvas course will be created for submitting final projects. Amy Levin Plattner will manually add students to the course that notify her they plan to graduate. 

The final project is the culminating activity for the graduate program and will be evaluated by your program committee. Please view the final project pages on the website for more information (https://academicadvising.wordpress.com/final-project/). 

The final project is expected to be a high quality, graduate-level document developed during the program. Please contact your advisor or Amy Levin Plattner if you have questions about the academic advising final project. 

A Program of Study is to have been submitted and on file with the Graduate School. All master’s students should have a Program of Study on file after the completion of nine credits. If you do not have an approved program of study, please contact Amy Levin Plattner as soon as possible. 

As always, please contact me with any questions.  

Thank you, 

Amy

Interested in a career in Academic Advising or know someone who might be?

The Academic Advising program at Kansas State University is hosting a webinar on Monday, October 23, 2023 at 7:00 PM CT for prospective students. This session will feature information about both the master’s degree and the certificate program.

If you would like to learn more about our programs, meet faculty, and ask questions, here is the registration link:  https://k-state.my.salesforce-sites.com/events/targetX_eventsb__events#/esr?eid=a124R00000AIByqQAH.

All master’s students, 

The Graduate School requires an approved program of study after the completion of nine credits (three courses) in the master’s in science in Academic Advising program. This is NOT a requirement for Certificate students.

The program of study lists the courses you intend to take to complete the requirements of the master’s in Academic Advising degree. 

If you do not have an approved Program of Study, please get back to me with the following information by filling out this program of study template. 

I’ll need the following details on that document:   

• Semester you take each course in the program
• Elective course 
• Committee members 

Which elective do you plan to take? 

1. EDCEP 812 – History and Philosophy of Higher Education – Fall 
2. EDCEP 839 – Assessment of Academic Advising – Spring 
3. EDCEP 864 – Current Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics – Spring, Summer 

Your advisor is the major professor on your supervisory committee. Two additional faculty will serve on your committee. The committee reviews your final project. Do you have a preference for which professors serve on your committee? The following graduate faculty are available to serve on committees:  

• Doris Carroll 
• Christy Craft 
• Marilyn Kaff 
• Craig McGill 
• Lisa Rubin 

When you are ready, please send me (Amy Levin Plattner) an email with your completed program of study form. I will generate your program of study through our electronic form system. If you have not taken a course yet, please list the semester you intend to take the course. You are not required to take the courses in the semesters that are listed on the form, but the electronic form cannot be submitted with “blanks”. 

The program of study will be electronically signed by you, followed by the faculty on your committee and submitted to the Graduate School for approval. Once it is approved you will receive an email from the Graduate School. 

Please do not fill out the form yourself. As a department we have decided that I will do the forms for all MS in Academic Advising students.
