Helping Students Keep On-track

student on campus

It is important for students to meet with an advisor each semester to be sure they are on schedule to graduate.

It is the student's responsibility to take ownership of this process, make an appointment and track your own progress toward graduation.

During each advising session, the student and faculty advisor will update progress on the senior standing form (see link under "Forms" on this website).

The senior standing form must be completed in conjunction with an advisor and have advisor, Chair and Dean approvals before graduation.

During the senior year a student must apply for graduation.
