What are the steps for graduation?
-

-
Complete the Degree Evaluation Petition during the filing period.
What is the Degree Evaluation Petition (DEP)?
Degree Evaluation Petition (DEP) is the form that begins the evaluation review of the courses you have completed or are in progress to determine if you meet the required course(s) to graduate. The DEP is available in the Counseling Center (AC-126) and must be submitted to the Office of Admissions and Records within the next filing period by the student or counselor.
What if I miss the filing period?
If you missed the filing period for the degree evaluation, you may still meet with your counselor to complete the “Degree Evaluation Petition”, but will not be submitted until the next filing period.
Does this mean I won’t graduate?
No, you may participate in the graduation exercise in May but, if you missed the filing period for the Degree Evaluation Petition, your degree will not be posted until the filing period.
If you withdraw from courses that were needed to graduate before the 60 percent date, a letter will be sent to inform you that, as a result of dropping the required courses, you no longer meet the graduation requirements. If you have chosen to participate in commencement, a letter will be mailed in early May with details of the graduation exercise. At the completion of the semester and when degrees have been confirmed by the Office of Admissions and Records, students who did not pass the required courses for graduation from the spring term will be informed they will not receive their degrees.
