Applying for January Graduation
If your student has completed or will complete all graduation requirements this fall semester they will need to apply in SIS for January graduation by Friday, October 6. If they applied to graduate in spring or summer 2023 but did not complete all requirements they must apply again this semester. All graduation materials must be submitted to gradstudies@case.edu by December 8.
Fall Break
Students in the School of Graduate Studies will receive a two-day break from classes and class activities corresponding to the undergraduate calendar: Monday, October 23 and Tuesday, October 24. Please note that this exemption applies only to classes and class activities; faculty may still require graduate students to perform research activities during fall break.
NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program
Students in research-based STEM programs within their first twelve months of graduate school and those about to start graduate education should consider applying for the National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowships Program (GRFP). Accepted students will receive three years of funding including $12,000 toward educational expenses and $37,000 as a cost-of-living stipend annually. Students should self-enroll in our NSF GRFP Canvas site, sign-up to have their application reviewed prior to submission, and attend NSF sponsored webinars. Details and registration links can be found in CampusGroups.
The deadline to apply varies by your students' fields of study but will be in the second half of October.
