This section is written for last year seniors in Nutrition &
Kinesiology who have to complete their university requirements and prepare for
life after graduation. Usually NUKIN majors either search for jobs, or apply for
post-graduate training such as graduate school, professional school, or a dietetic internship. The bullet
checklist below will help you prepare for this transition.
-
You must file an Application for Graduation
Clearance in both Dean's Offices (A&S - Eisenhower 113; HE - Justin 119).
This is usually done the first few weeks of the semester or summer that you plan to
graduate. The deadlines are listed in the
KSU
Academic Calendar.
-
Commencement Ceremonies. You are not
requirement to go through commencement ceremonies to get both B.S.
degrees (although you still have to fill out both applications for
graduation clearance described above). You can go through commencement
ceremonies for both colleges if you wish, or just one, or neither!
-
"Walk Through". Prospective summer
(August) graduates may
participate in May Commencement immediately preceding the summer term in
which degree requirements will be completed ("Walk Through"), or may
participate in the December Commencement immediately following the
summer term in which degree requirements were completed. To be
considered a "prospective summer graduate," students must present a
feasible plan for enrollment in no more than nine credit hours or a
standard internship to complete final degree requirements for summer
graduation. Interested students should contact the Deans Offices
(Human Ecology; Arts & Sciences) to fill out the necessary paperwork.
-
If you are an Honors student, complete the Honors Program
requirements.
-
Finish Incompletes and take care of Delinquencies (if you have any).
-
Avoid taking Off-Campus courses your last
semester or summer. It takes time to forward transcripts to KSU, and this may delay
your graduation. Also be aware of the university rule
that the last 20 of your 30 hours must be K-State resident hours.
-
Job Search. If you plan to search for
a job, attend workshops on resume writing, interview skills, and job search strategies
sponsored by K-State's Career and employment Services (CES) in Holtz Hall. Read the
section on Career &
Employment Services.
-
ADA Internships. If you plan to apply for
ADA Internships which begin in the Fall you need to start in January (or before) to get
together applications, letters of R, transcripts, etc. Usually students are responsible
for getting together the whole package for each internship that they apply for. Make sure
you have completed the extra courses needed for this credential. Read NUKIN section on Becoming a Registered Dietitian.
