To file for graduation, whether for the master’s degree (MS) or the certificate of advanced study in Archives and Records Management (CAS), you must complete an application for graduation which is located on the Registrar’s website.
If you are completing both the master’s and the certificate, you must file two separate applications indicating the MS and the CAS. For the MS, you should put Library and Information Science as your major and leave the ‘concentration’ field blank.
