RE: CERTIFICATION (“Approval to Graduate") of May 2025 Degree Candidates
Being we are in the Spring semester, it's time to begin the graduation certification process (“approval to graduate”) for all applied May 2025 degree candidates. For all UG-level and most GR-level academic credentials, this important process is done within Degree Works, the university’s degree audit system.
IMPORTANT DEADLINE: It is essential that certifications be done promptly. In instances where a degree candidate may be lacking a course to complete their program, every day that passes is one day further from that student resolving their graduation deficiency. Please log into Degree Works and complete the certification process asap, and no later than end-of-day Wed., February 19th.
