The semester prior to the semester a student wishes to graduate, a request should be made at the College of Letters & Science, ll3 Campbell Hall, for a Degree Check/Audit to insure that all requirements for the degree will be satisfied. Students should indicate their intention to graduate by responding to the Tele-BEARS inquiry when scheduling courses for the semester they plan to graduate. Please keep in mind that the College will only review overall degree requirements; please be sure to verify with the Psychology Undergraduate Advisors that all major requirements have been fulfilled.

Commencement Ceremony

Graduating seniors may be asked to participate in the planning of the ceremony.
