Process
- Coordinators will be sent a graduation check-out for eligible students approximately four to six weeks before the graduation date. (The check-out lists all of the student information, such as program, admission date, ID, degree candidacy dates, test scores, transfer credits, coursework and grades [no grades will be printed for coursework in progress], GPA). Note in "Comments" section any course substitutions or exceptions to curriculum that have been approved.
- Verify that all required coursework for the degree program has been met by signing and dating the form.
- Important: return the check-out to 101 Stright Hall by the due date so that the student’s diploma is not delayed. A student will not be cleared for graduation without a checkout.
Note: Once semester grades have been posted, each graduating student’s file will be checked by the SGSR to confirm that degree requirements have been satisfied. If so, the student will be cleared in Banner, and the Registrar’s Office will be notified to send the diploma.
This process is likely to take at least one month, contingent on the following:
- All Change of Grade forms have been filed
- Transfer credits have been approved and grades posted
- All "I", "R", and "L" grades have been changed
