Students who believe they are prepared for graduation must undergo an Academic Review process called an Alumni Approval. The review will determine whether the student has completed all of the necessary graduation requirements. To begin this process, a Graduation Application must be submitted. The submission of a Graduation Application does not certify that the student will be cleared for graduation. If the review proves that additional credits are needed, then the student must complete them before he or she will be allowed to graduate. If graduation is denied, then the student will be notified in writing and the results of the Academic Review will be made available.

Students in their final semester must submit a graduation application to initiate the Alumni Approval Process. This comprehensive review includes an evaluation of transcripts, courses, grades, academic integrity, and overall school history to ensure eligibility for graduation. The review typically takes 3-5 weeks but may extend to 8 weeks or longer, depending on factors such as seasonality, document accuracy, NCAA guidelines, and other issues. If any required documents are missing or if concerns arise, the process could experience further delays. We recommend starting the process as soon as your final semester begins, although we cannot guarantee a specific timeline for completion. An optional rush fee is available to expedite the process, but be aware that missing information or unresolved issues will still cause delays. Thank you for your patience as we work to confirm that all graduation requirements are met.
