Things to consider
The end of the fall semester is approaching and we have to pay attention to deadlines
and prepare for the coming semester.
If you want to graduate in spring or summer 2014 and have not yet applied for
graduation, you have to pay a $15 application late fee. The deadline to apply for
graduating in Spring 2014 is Jun/30 and for Summer 2014 is Aug/20. To apply for
graduation, login to your Student Center and locate the Apply for Graduation Field.
Congratulations to those who are graduating next year!
