A graduating student will fulfill all requirements published in the University Bulletin. The student may complete the major and minor requirements published in the Bulletin at the time of enrollment or any Bulletin issued during continuous enrollment, unless changes by a licensing or certifying body require otherwise. A student not in regular attendance for two or more consecutive semesters must meet the requirements of the current Bulletin upon resuming attendance. All general requirements for graduation must be fulfilled as published in the current Bulletin.
An application for graduation should be completed and filed in the Records Office three semesters before the student expects to graduate.
A Graduation Contract must be completed and returned to the Records Office no later than one week after the start of the senior year. Any transfer work must be completed and the official transcript of this work must be in the Records Office by March 1 for May graduates, July 15 for August graduates, and November 15 for December graduates. Seniors registering for any off-campus courses during their last semester will delay their graduation. All CLEP and Proficiency examinations must be taken, and the recording fees paid, before the last semester of the senior year.
The student must satisfactorily meet all financial obligations to the University, including payment of graduation dues. (The amount of dues is determined by the class with the approval of the president.) If graduation dues were paid as a two-year graduate, only half of the dues will be required of the four-year graduate. All graduates are expected to participate in the commencement exercises unless given permission by the Academic Vice President to graduate in absentia.
