14. Exit Interview and Final Check-Out
Congratulations on completing your degree! After successfully passing the final exam, each student will be invited for an exit interview with the department head. The purpose of the interview is to gain feedback on the experience for the student and to identify ways in which our department faculty or staff could improve the experience. Each student will also be invited to contribute their feedback in a written format so that we can gain more standardized feedback on how we are doing and what your plans are post-graduation. After you graduate, please stay in contact. We will want to know how you are doing and have your current contact information so that we can invite you back for alumni events.
Final Check-out
During your final weeks in the department, make sure to do the following:
- Make a copy of any files or notebooks that you will need for future reference on your work and leave the original files and notebooks with your Faculty Advisor
- Back-up old emails through your UNL email account
- Establish a new email address and import contacts from your UNL email account
- Return keys to the department’s administrative assistant so that you do not incur any fees
- Schedule a final walk-through of the laboratory with your Faculty Advisor so that there is someone who will know where to find all relevant materials and supplies related to your project
- Return any library books you have checked out
- Complete an exit interview survey
