Processing the Intent to Graduate Form
The student's academic file is audited to determine which degree requirements have been met and which ones are still incomplete. Once the academic audit is complete, the student receives a final clearance letter which will include Final Evaluation with any remaining requirements needed. Remaining requirements are courses pending completion for your graduation. These courses will be indicated with an (IP) In Progress, (PR) Preregistered, Course Needed or Credits Needed. Depending on what term you have filed for, this process usually takes at least 2 weeks.
