Degree Checklist for Academic Year

The checklist below is intended as guide to help with degree requirements and course selection. It is not intended as the official confirmation of a student’s eligibility to graduate as requirements may change from year to year. Satisfaction of all degree requirements will be officially determined by the Registrar’s Office upon application to graduate. Make sure to follow the correct degree requirements by checking the Undergraduate Academic Calendar of the year in which you entered the program.

To find out which courses you have already completed toward your degree, use the Degree Progress Report. For more help, contact your academic advisor.
