The student’s academic advisor will then complete a degree audit with the student through the Registrar’s Office to determine what courses must be scheduled during the student’s last two semesters of enrollment. All students must file the formal Application for Degree and pay the appropriate fee in the Registrar’s Office according to the following schedule:
