Hello MSPQC Students,

I hope you all had a wonderful time celebrating last week during and after our MSPQC graduation celebration. Congratulations once again! As a follow up, I wanted to provide a few details and reminders about your official graduation and degree conferral.

Return Graduation Regalia: For those who received this by mail, you should have also received a return envelope. For those of you who are in Madison and received door step delivery, you can return these directly to the UW Bookstore on State Street. Please return the graduation gown and hood. The cap and tassel are yours to keep.

Warrant: Your advisors and Professor Joynt are currently signing off on the official degree warrants. Once grades from Physics 709 are posted by the grading deadline of 8/17/2020, I will submit your signed warrants to the UW Graduate School for final processing. They will coordinate with the Office of the Registrar to be sure your degree is posted and awarded.

Degree Conferral: The degree conferral date for Summer 2020 is 8/23/2020. Shortly after that you should be able to see your MS Physics-Quantum Computing posted to your transcript. You can order unlimited transcripts for any future needs through the Office of the Registrar. https://registrar.wisc.edu/transcript/ Further information about the degree posting and the diploma processing can be found in the attached document. Please be sure your current address is updated in your MyUW Student Center so that your actual diploma makes it to you this fall.

This is the last official email being sent to all of you on the MSPQC email list. Next week I will update it to remove those students who have graduated and add the new incoming students. Reid and Feng, you will remain on the email list this fall since you are planning to officially graduate at a later time.

As always, feel free to let me know if you have any questions along the way. Otherwise, I'm sending my best wishes to each of you going forward. I am very proud of all of your accomplishments and really enjoyed our time together in the MSPQC program at UW-Madison! Please do keep in touch going forward.

Best, Michelle
