Kansas State University Academic Advising Graduate Programs

Welcome to a new semester! Fall classes starts Monday, August 21, 2023.

Students planning to complete the requirements for the master’s in science in Academic Advising in Fall 2023 should follow the steps below:

E-mail Amy Levin Plattner
Notify me that you plan to graduate the end of the Fall 2023 semester. Deadline: September 1, 2023.

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.  

In order to apply for graduation, students must go to the “Student Homepage” in KSIS and click on the “Academic Records” tile:

After clicking the Academic Records tile – click on “Application for Graduation” and complete the form:

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 October 6, 2023
A K-State Online 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.

Please contact Amy Levin Plattner with any questions.
