Mandatory Advising

Advising is critically important to your college career. Our department conducts mandatory advising for all majors and dance minors to help guide students through their Major Plan. Advising is optional for theatre and music minors.

Here’s how it works: each semester we do group advising, by your option. This advising session takes place three weeks prior to the opening of the next semester’s registration. Failure to complete mandatory advising will result in a hold being placed on your account and you will not be able to register for classes until you fulfill this requirement.

Graduation

Apply a year before your anticipated graduation date. Apply to graduate for the semester you will complete all degree requirements and coursework. Commencement is separate from the graduation application. Go here for information on commencement.

Degree Progress Report

If you are trying to graduate in 4 years, pass general education requirements and prerequisite courses, then follow the path recommended in your 4-Year Academic Plan (MAP). Your Degree Progress Report is your countdown to graduation! Graduation Advisors correct errors in Degree Progress Reports, and will ultimately post your degree to your transcript or deny graduation.
