All colleges and universities establish certain requirements which must be met before a degree is granted. These requirements concern courses, majors, grade point average, residence requirements and other requirements with which the student must comply. Advisors, department heads and academic deans will help a student meet these requirements, but the student is responsible for fulfilling them. Upon completion of the required course work, personnel of the University will determine if the student is eligible to receive a degree. If the requirements have not been met, the degree will be withheld until such time as they have been met. It is important for each student to become acquainted with the degree requirements and to remain informed.
