Extremely late applications submitted within two months of a graduation date pose further challenges and are charged accordingly. No application will be accepted within three weeks of a graduation date without the review and approval of the Office of the Provost.
• All financial obligations to the University incurred by each graduating senior must be met before the degree will be conferred.
FOREIGN LANGUAGE REQUIREMENT
The foreign language requirement, if required for the degree, may be satisfied by one of the following options:
• A student who has a 12-hour language requirement must obtain credit for 1341, 1342, 2313, and 2314 in sequence in one language, unless otherwise indicated by the degree/major (as listed in this catalog).
• A student who has a 6-hour language requirement must obtain credit for 1341 and 1342 in sequence.
• A student who has satisfactorily completed four years of study in one language in high school or preparatory school may present this credit and be exempted from the requirement, as applicable.
• A student who achieves a satisfactory score on the College Level Examination Program or a comparable examination may receive either credit hours or advanced placement or both as determined by the department of languages and literature.
• If a student is proficient in a foreign language to the degree that she/he is eligible to enroll in the intermediate level, the 6 hours of intermediate foreign language will satisfy the requirement for the Bachelor of Arts degree.
• A student who presents a diploma from an acceptable high school or degree from an acceptable college or university whose exclusive language of study is a language other than English is eligible to receive 12 hours credit.
PARTICIPATION IN THE GRADUATION CEREMONY/ WALKING GUIDELINES

Students who have not completed the graduation requirements may petition through the office of their dean to the Provost and Senior Vice President to “walk” (participate in commencement) on the following conditions:
• Note that this is only available for undergraduates who have applied to graduate in the following Summer term as Summer graduation does not have an associated commencement ceremony.
• Be within two courses (6-8 credit hours) of completing graduation requirements.
• Have previously met all 1000/2000 level requirements and all general education courses.
• Have a cumulative 2.0 GPA and meet any additional GPA requirements as required by the program of study at the time of petition.
• Demonstrate that there is a plausible non-academic reason beyond the student’s control that prevented completion of all requirements.
• Recognize that this is available for Spring graduation only and not available for December commencement.
