Transfer students are encouraged to obtain their degree audit from the web once all transfer credit has been posted. Students are expected to work with their advisor and keep the degree audit current and accurate.
At the time a student has completed 90 hours, an official degree audit will be processed and reviewed by the Office of Student Records and issued to the student and advisor. Upon receiving a student’s graduation application, a final official degree audit will be processed and certified by the Office of Student Records. Official degree audits may only be certified by the Office of Student Records.
