You have worked hard to reach this point. As you prepare to receive your degree, please keep these things in mind:
- Review the spring degree dates and deadlines on the Registrar’s website.
- Check WebSIS to make sure that you have no outstanding grades, obligations, or financial charges that would prevent you from receiving your degree. Remember, you are responsible for closing any loops.
