Graduation Requirements

In the fall of their junior year, all students will coordinate with the Vice President of Academics Office to complete a degree flow sheet. Available from the Registrar’s office, the sheet certifies all courses completed and indicates those remaining for fulfillment of degree requirements. All changes in the official degree program approved on the degree flow sheet must be agreed upon by the student, approved by the Registrar, and signed by both the student and Registrar.
