Student Instructions
To stay on track for graduation, it is recommended that students run a degree evaluation during each registered semester. Please note that these evaluations are considered unofficial and do not replace the official graduation audit conducted by Graduate Study and Lifelong Learning. Final approval for graduation is required by the student’s department and Graduate Study and Lifelong Learning. Any changes to the student’s original, approved Plan of Study must be submitted to Graduate Study and Lifelong Learning in order to be incorporated into the online degree evaluation system. Additionally, students should make sure that an updated, adviser-approved plan of study is on file in Graduate Study prior to applying for graduation.
