Who Received This Email?
We sent this email on Thursday, Jan. 11, 2024, to undergraduate students who were admitted to a bachelor's–accelerated master's program and had an expected undergraduate graduation term of Spring 2024.

Dear [first],

Our records indicate that you expected to complete the undergraduate requirements for your Bachelor's–Accelerated Master's (BAM) program in Spring 2024.

[Students who hadn't applied to a master's program or to graduate received the following text.]

If you still plan to complete your bachelor's degree this semester, you must complete three steps by Feb. 1, 2024. For recipients of financial aid, this will also help ensure a smooth transition to graduate funding and timely updates to aid next semester.

  1. Apply to graduate with your bachelor's degree.
  2. Submit a master's continuation form.
  3. Submit a BAM supplement form to identify which courses you're double counting and which you're using toward the master's degree.

If you need to change your expected graduation term, please complete a BAM program change form so we can update your records.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

[Students who'd applied to a master's program, but not to graduate, received the following text.]

Although you've applied to continue with your master's degree, you haven't yet applied to graduate with your bachelor's degree at the end of the semester. If you haven't already, you'll also need to submit a BAM supplement form to identify which courses you're double counting and which you're using toward the master's degree.

If this is still your expected graduation term, you must apply to graduate by Feb.1, 2024For recipients of financial aid, this will also help ensure a smooth transition to graduate funding and timely updates to aid next semester. If not, fill out the BAM program change form so we can update your records.
