Degrees are posting on transcripts
Posted on 8/8/18 at 3:30 pm to mtntreks
@mtntreks, did they list your GPA on the line after the graduation date? They listed mine and I am wondering if it has any significance with respect to the other verbiage or if it is just a data point.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I am set to finish Fall AP1. Will I be contacted by someone regarding an Graduation Application/fee or do I need to reach out to someone?

You have to watch for it to appear on your account. Congrats on being close to the end.

Yes, the GPA is listed on my transcript too. I just didn't include it in my cut/paste. Did you do the 3 class concentration or the 2 class specialization? I did the 3 class one.

According to the counselor, the specialization/concentration unfortunately won't be shown on the actual degree. It will just say that it's an MBA. Any spec/conc will only show up in a separate letter that you need to request.

@WDE
If my math is right from the syllabus, I don't believe we will have to complete an "Assignment" for Week 7. Appears we only have quiz + discussion post due Week 7. Have my fingers crossed

I did a two class specialization in finance. I didn't want to be idle for two sessions so I could take my last fin class to get the concentration. If I had known that the University was going to display the concentration on the transcript, but not the specialization, I would have waited.

@Sactown even though it appears on the transcript, they informed me that it does NOT appear on the official diploma which will only show "Masters of Business Administration". Aside from applying for school, I know of no other use for the transcript. It's not as if you would ever hand your transcript over to a potential employer unless you're possibly trying to show them proof of a 4.0. Also, if you need "proof" of your specialization or concentration, you can request a certificate of completion or letter from the MBA dept. after degree conferral, which will show spec/conc.

@baroqen--All good points. I will ask for the certificate.
I am trying to find a new job right now and some employers (~20%) want transcipts. None have asked for proof of a diploma. The lack of the finance specialization on my transcript is disappointing. Somewhere between 50-75% of the places that I have applied to want to know if I belong to honor societies, and if I received academic awards. Having to wait until the Fall to get into Beta Gamma Sigma, and Sigma Iota Epsillon really sucks--not to mention that Kappa didn't accept anyone this year. I am really hoping that Kappa accepts summer grads in the Fall, but who knows what they have planned.
The environment that I am completing in is very tough. Some jobs that I have applied for have over 1000 applicants, so I am looking for anything that will set me apart, get me an interview, and a new job.

Did I miss a conversation somewhere? What's up with the honor societies?
BGS and SIE are the two I expected to hear from. They're not doing anything with the summer grads?
I know nothing about Kappa, it's not listed for grad students on the Moodle honor society page, but if it is accepting MBA students, I believe there were multiple 4.0 gpa grads this summer, so I'm somewhat surprised they didn't take anyone.

What kind of jobs are you applying for? Level within the organization?
The number of applicants is normal for any big company so don't let that get you down. I have never heard of an employer requesting honor societies or academic awards...that's very odd to me so I am wondering if the jobs you are pursuing are outside my experience.
Posted on 8/10/18 at 5:21 pm to lynxcat
I am applying for CIO, IT Director, and IT Manager jobs at hospitals and hospital systems of various sizes all across the country. The level that I apply for depends upon the size of the organization.
The honor society membership question seems to be baked into some organization's EHR software and does not appear directly related to a specific position. The academic awards question seems to appear more frequently when I apply at smaller hospitals or at university hospitals, but not always.

The last time that Phi Kappa Phi admitted new members at Shreveport was in Spring of 2017, or at least that was the last time Shreveport used Kappa's website to induct students. Kappa is going to induct in the 2018/2019 school year according to a school email that I received.
I could totally be wrong about BGS and SIE not inducting during the Summer. The sparse documentation on Shreveport's Honor Society website says that they only induct during the Fall and Spring. Maybe someone else has better information than I do.

I got an email in July that mentioned BGP, SIE, and PKP.
I'm hoping to see some invites this fall, I will be 80% of the way done in a week, with a 4.0 so far. The exam 4 in FIN710 is the only thing left for me this current term, tho I will probably do the Week 7 stuff for ISDS702 just because it's interesting, but I have the A locked down.
I'm curious what everyones thoughts are on the actual value of the three honor societies and if they are even worth joining. The only one that I ever see mentioned is Phi Beta Kappa as having much value and it's an undergrad one.
