Tan Chingfen Graduate School of Nursing
The first step you must take to determine and verify your eligibility to graduate from the Tan Chingfen Graduate School of Nursing is to complete the Intent to Graduate Form no later than March 25th.
Completing the Intent to Graduate Form is required for all potential graduates. This Form kicks off our inquiry into your student record to validate that you have completed all program requirements, have no missing or incomplete grades, and provides us with the necessary information we need in order to submit your name for voting by our faculty to officially confer your degree. Please ensure you complete the Intent to Graduate Form no later than March 25th otherwise your graduation date may be delayed.
UMass Chan Medical School Hooding Policy
The University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School (UMass Chan) allows for graduates that have a parent or family member who is currently on the faculty or an alumnus of UMass Chan to hood their graduate at Commencement.
Family hooders are required to attend a rehearsal, wear regalia and be seated on the stage during the ceremony.
