Preparing for Graduation
It is the shared responsibility of both a student and his/her advisor to determine that all requirements for graduation have been completed by the anticipated graduation date. The advisor has the authority to approve academic work within the major; however, only the Provost and the registrar have the authority to certify that all requirements for graduation have been fulfilled and post a notification of degree completion on a student’s transcript. Therefore, it is the responsibility of each student to track his/ her own progress through a degree program by maintaining a checklist of all requirements including major and emphasis requirements, general education requirements, free electives, sufficient numbers of 30000+ level courses, and total number of credits.
