Dear Graduating Student,
Many students have found incorrect or incomplete information regarding their name or major on the online RSVP form. If you are one of these students, please continue reading (even if we have spoken by e-mail or phone).
NAME
For those of you whose names are misspelled (Kelly instead of Kelley), capitalized incorrectly (Larue instead of LaRue) or punctuated incorrectly (ONeill instead of O'Neill), or if your middle name is listed as an initial (John D. Smith):
You may be wondering why your name is listed incorrectly. In all but one case thus far, the above problems occurred due to incorrect data input from a University employer (e.g., any time you have been paid by the University). Regardless of the reason, the below steps should be followed to overwrite the incorrect information with correct data:
Step 1: Send the incorrect and correct information to my attention at hcockrum@utk.edu. I will forward the information to the appropriate person in the Office of the Registrar. Someone should contact you by the end of spring break, as your assistance will more than likely be needed in this process. If you are not contacted by the end of spring break, please let me know.
Step 2: Once the information has been corrected, you will need to sign back into the graduation RSVP page at www.artsci.utk.edu. If the correct information is listed, you must click "Submit" to overwrite the incorrect information previously submitted from your original RSVP. (Don't worry--it will not result in your submitting multiple RSVPs.) If the incorrect information is still listed when you log in, wait one week and try again. If incorrect information is still listed on Monday, March 31st, please let me know at hcockrum@utk.edu.
MAJOR
If your major is listed incorrectly, you should correct it on the RSVP form. The field is editable.
Thank you for your patience!
