Graduation Requirements

Students must apply for graduation via the online Form 150 found on the web site. Students who are on probation or reinstatement from dismissal are not allowed to apply for graduation without prior approval. Degrees are conferred three times per year when the following requirements are fulfilled:

1. A final overall graduate grade point average of at least 3.000 out of a possible 4.000 based on all required courses.
2. Completion of all courses in the student’s official program with a grade of C or better.
3. Completion of a graduation application form and payment of the graduation fee by the posted graduation deadline.
4. All official transcripts with date of graduation and required documents have been submitted.
5. Payment of all tuition and fees (library fines, parking tickets, etc.).
6. Completion of the above requirements within a period of seven years.

Exceptions

• Interruption by military service automatically extends the deadline.
• In extraordinary circumstances, a student may apply in writing to the Office of the Dean for extension of the deadline.

Diplomas

Diplomas only record the degree earned. Designation of Majors and/or Concentrations completed are included on the official transcript. Unless requested otherwise by the student, multiple concentrations will be listed alphabetically on the transcript.
