Questions about Capstone

[ss20ts]

Maybe I'm mistaken, but I got the impression that a lot of folks applied to grad school while in their last (or even second-to-last) semester of their undergrad.  I applied to both of the MSW programs about a month into LIB-495 and SOS-110, as they were my first-and-last classes at TESU. As far as I know, most of the grad schools I looked at were fine with applicants in their last semester or two. WNMU, for example, even allows students to enroll for one semester if they have not fully finished their undergraduate degree.

I waited until I KNEW I was actually graduating to apply to grad schools. I was more than half way through my last session/semester when I applied. Some programs require your degree to be conferred before they will accept you or will conditionally accept you. The vast majority of schools will not let you enroll until they receive your final official transcript showing that your degree has been conferred.
