Application for Degree

Degrees are awarded at the conclusion of the semesters in December and May, and also on August 31. A formal application for the baccalaureate degree must be filed with the registrar by May 1 of the year preceding the year of planned graduation. An audit of the student's progress towards meeting degree requirements is completed upon this application. However, it is the student's responsibility to see that the courses which are needed for graduation are included in his or her program of study. It must be possible by normal registration for a student to gain the necessary credits by the date declared as the planned graduation date.

Only those seniors whose current registration will bring them within 8 credits of completion of all degree requirements may participate in commencement exercises.

A student accepted as a degree candidate who has completed the residence requirement, but lacks credits required for graduation may transfer up to 8 credits from another accredited institution of higher education to complete the degree. Students who intend to complete degree requirements in this manner must obtain prior written approval from the Academic Advising Office (for core requirements) or their department chair (for major requirements). See also "Studies at Other Colleges" or consult the registrar.
