Curriculum revision effective Fall 2007
A curriculum revision effective for MUPP students entering in Fall, 2007 and later has been approved by UIC. Students entering before this date must complete all requirements for the MUPP degree as detailed in the handbook of the year they first enrolled in the UPP program.
For detailed information about program requirements, refer to the MUPP, PhD, and Masters in Real Estate pages.
Graduation and Diplomas
If you previously registered for UPP 597 or 598 you received a DF
(Deferred Grade) until you complete the project or thesis, the DF will
then be changed to an S.
Intent to Graduate
The /Intent to Graduate/ must be submitted for the term you intend to
graduate. The on-line form is available from the time when registration
for that term begins through the Friday of the third week of fall and
spring semesters, or through the second week of the summer semester.
*If you complete an /Intent to Graduate/ for one term and do not
graduate that term, you must complete another /Intent to Graduate/ for
the new term in which you are attempting to graduate.*
Summer deadline is Friday, June 26, 2009.
Diplomas
The Diploma is a recognition of completion of your degree, although the
official document attesting to completion of a degree is the
transcript. Diplomas are mailed to graduates approximately three months
after the term of graduation. Diplomas are mailed after Fall, Spring
and Summer terms and are not connected with the Spring term commencement ceremonies.
Diplomas are sent to the student's official mailing address in the
student database. Students may change the mailing address as needed
using the Student Self-Service.
Alternatively, students may enter a */Diploma/* Mailing Address in
Student Self-Service (which may be different than the regular mailing
address) up until one week after final exams end. If the Diploma
Mailing Address needs to be added or changed after that time, the
student must contact the Office of Registration and Records (Records) in
the Office of Admissions and Records. Also, if the diploma is not
received after three months, or there are questions about the diploma,
the Office of Registration and Records (Records) should be consulted.
For contact information and additional information about diplomas
consult the diploma section of the Registration and Records
website.
