Degree Certification Procedures for Undergraduate Students in the College of Science
A final audit of your records is done to ensure that you have completed all requirements for your degree. If you have questions about course requirements, contact the appropriate department advisor (for your major or minor) or college advisor.
Students with majors in Biochemistry & Molecular Biophysics, Chemistry, Computer Science, Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, General Biology, Geosciences, Molecular & Cellular Biology, and Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences:
Apply for graduation with your major advisor. Print out your SAPR (Student Academic Progress Report) from Student Link and bring it to your major advisor before you register for your final semester. During your advising appointment, your advisor will review the courses and requirements for your pre-major and major and will sign your Senior Degree Check Adjustment Form. In addition, your major advisor will ask you to complete an Application for Degree Candidacy. Your major advisor will review your general education course work and will sign the pink adjustment form for the College of Science Dean. Your major advisor will send your Application and Adjustment Form over to Jenny Bravo, your Graduation Services advisor, in the Modern Languages Bldg. Room 347. Jenny will place a $35.00 degree candidacy fee on your Bursar's account and will do a final audit of your records to ensure that you have completed all requirements for your degree.
Students with a major in Psychology:
Apply for graduation with your major advisor. Before you register for your final semester, make an appointment with your department advisor. Print out your SAPR (Student Academic Progress Report) from Student Link and take it with you. During your advising appointment, your advisor will review the courses and requirements for General Education and your major, make adjustments as appropriate, and sign your Senior Degree Check Adjustment Form. At the same time, you will complete an Application for Degree Candidacy. Psychology applications will be forwarded to Noris Montalvan, the Graduation Services advisor for Psychology. The Graduation Services advisor will place a $35.00 degree candidacy fee on your Bursar’s account. If adjustments are needed to your minor, you should take the Degree Check Adjustment Form and SAPR to the department advisor for your minor. If no adjustments are needed to your minor, there is no need for you to see your minor advisor.
All other majors in the College of Science
Apply for graduation in the College of Science Advising Center, Gould-Simpson, Room 1017. Print out your SAPR (Student Academic Programs Report) from Student Link and take it to your college advisor in Gould-Simpson before you register for your final semester. Your college advisor will ask you to fill out an Application for Degree Candidacy and will give you a Senior Degree Check Adjustment Form (pink sheet) to take to your major advisor.
Take your adjustment form and SAPR to your major advisor(s). If you are in the 1998 or later catalog, you may also need to see a minor advisor (if adjustments are needed in your minor). For students following the 1997 or earlier catalogs, your major advisor can make major and minor adjustments. Once your major advisor has signed your Adjustment Form, take it and the SAPR back to the College of Science Academic Advising Center, Gould-Simpson 1017. Your college advisor will review your general education course work and will sign the Adjustment Form for the College of Science Dean. The college advisor will then forward your adjustment form to Jenny Bravo, your Graduation Services Advisor. Jenny will place a $35.00 degree candidacy fee on your Bursar's account and will do a final audit of your records to ensure that you have completed all requirements for your degree.
