Checklist
Things to do... now that you are almost through!
Being a senior is an exciting and anxious time. So many things to do and so many dates and deadlines to remember. This checklist is a way to keep on track--to make sure that graduation day arrives without any unpleasant surprises. Items may vary by student in terms of when they need to be done. Be sure to know what affects you...and when!
