*Students that DO NOT apply for graduation before the deadline can have their graduation delayed by one semester.

**This procedure must be repeated if the student does not graduate in the expected term.

***New students should keep a copy of the University Catalog that was in effect at the time of their admission. The catalog is, in essence, a contract between the student and the University as to what the student must do to earn their Baccalaureate.  This means that any changes in degree requirements that occur after a student has been admitted will not apply to that student.  HOWEVER, if the student discontinues enrollment for more than one year, their enrollment must be reactivated and new requirements will then apply.
