Applying for Graduation
When you get close to graduation, you will need to submit the Major Evaluation Request Form to the Department Manager.
There is no need to first consult with your faculty advisor before you submit the Major Evaluation Request form to the department to complete your Major Evaluation for graduation. The Department of Management, not your faculty advisor, approves your Major Evaluation needed to graduate. Faculty advisors are available if needed to assist with planning your remaining quarters.
After the department reviews and completes your Major Evaluation it will be emailed to you to turn in electronically with your Degree Application that can be found on the Registrar's website. Please keep in mind during busy times it may take up to 10 working days for Major Evaluations to be completed.
You then submit it, and the required Degree Application Form to the Registrar's office and they will bill your student account for the required application fee.
