| INITIAL REVIEW January 14 and February 18 | Graduation Services sends an email to students confirming receipt of the graduation application and instruction to review their DegreeWorks audit. Students with an audit at 98% or 100% degree completion are considered pre-cleared for graduation. Students with an audit NOT at 98% or 100% require further review and consultation with an advisor. At this time, all substitution/waivers should be submitted by academic departments in order to meet degree clearance. |
| COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW March 10 | Mid-term degree clearance reports from academic departments are due. At this time, Graduation Services needs a response from the academic department for each student on their degree clearance report(s). At the department’s request, Graduation Services will inactivate the graduation application for the current term for students not meeting degree clearance at the comprehensive review deadline (mid-term). Students will receive an email notification and instructions to apply for a future graduation term. This will allow continuing students to enroll for Fall and/or Summer 2025 when registration opens on March 31. |
