SENIOR 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!


Academic Requirements
  • Verify when you will be graduating. Check the Student Information System to ensure that you are scheduled to graduate at the end of the appropriate term. If the date is incorrect, notify your Dean's Office.

  • Make sure transfer work from other institutions has been officially posted to your record.

  •  
  • A few other things to keep in mind: 
    1. Double check that you will have the total number of credits you need for your major.

    3. You'll need at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA to graduate.

    4.  
    5. No Communication Conditions can be on your record.
