You apply for the academic session in which all requirements will be met. You can graduate at the end of a Fall, Summer or Spring academic session. If you complete your degree requirements in the Winter interim session, you’ll graduate the following Spring semester.
As you plan to submit your degree application, you should request and review an updated Degree Audit to ensure that you have a plan to complete all your remaining degree requirements needed for graduation. We highly encourage you to consult with your advisor to ensure your program requirements are being met.
