Baccalaureate Degree students will graduate when they
have met all University requirements for the Degree Program in accordance with their
G.E.
and Major Catalog Dates, including: General Education Requirements (Lower and Upper
Division), Major Program Requirements, Minor Requirements (if a Minor has been declared),
Total Unit Requirements, Residency Requirements, Scholastic Requirements (GPA in
G.E.'s,
Major Program, and Overall), and successful completion of the WPE (Writing Proficiency
Examination). Students must file for graduation.
Graduate Degree candidates will graduate when they have met all University and
Department or Division Degree Program or Credential Requirements within the allotted time
frame, including: Residency Requirements, total Unit Requirements, Scholastic Requirements
(GPA), and successful completion of the (WPE/GWAR, Graduate Writing Proficiency
Examination).
Students should work closely with their Academic Advisers in
their Department, Division, School or College Based Advisement Centers to periodically review On-line (computer)
academic records in order to: 1) Make certain that they are accurate, and to make
necessary corrections and updates, 2) See that Approved Petitions for Course
Substitutions, Repeat Courses, etc., were in fact entered on-line and appropriate credit
was given, and 3) Ensure that all transcripts, AP (Advanced Placement Credits, etc.) were
received by CSLA and entered On-line. Doing so, should expedite the "Grad Check"
process for both the student, the adviser, and the University.
Early in the Spring Quarter, the University holds a Graduation Fair for "one
stop shopping" for Graduation related information. Students can verify the accuracy
of the spelling of their name as it will appear in the Official Graduation Program, have
their Graduation pictures taken, purchase their cap and gown, and obtain their guest
tickets to attend the Graduation Ceremony, etc.
Some guidelines or reminders for Filing Graduation Checks are:
- Grad Checks must be filed two quarters prior to the expected
date of graduation for Undergraduate students and one quarter
prior for Graduate students. The exact "filing periods"
are listed in
the Quarterly Schedule of Classes.
- Once The Preliminary Grad Check audit is completed and sent
to the student, up-dated Grad Checks will not be sent to the Student until the Final
Audit.
- Adviser approved course changes must be received by the Graduation
Office within the Open window Period for the Graduation Application Quarter.
- Degree Requirements for each student will appear On-Line. Many Advisers and
College Based Advisement Centers
file Grad Checks On-line which expedites the process.
- Students should discuss Graduation issues, concerns, and problems directly
with their Academic Adviser.
