Evaluations and Graduation
The Evaluations Unit is located within the Office of Admissions and Records inside the Student Services building. We are responsible for admitting all students, providing evaluations of transfer credit, and for certifying of General Education breadth requirements and graduation check requirements for prospective graduating students. Transfer students enrolled in the university may check with this office to ensure course credit has been given for courses taken at another institution.
Getting Ready to Graduate
Each prospective graduate must file an application for graduation two quarters before his/her expected date of graduation. Filing the application for graduation on time allows us to evaluate your progress toward completing your degree requirements and to eventually award you the degree.
