Students must fulfill the following additional requirements to earn a degree from Â鶹²ú¾«¹úÆ·. Students will not receive a diploma or transcript from the University until the following requirements and obligations are met.

1. A cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 is required for all students. A cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 is also required in the student’s major(s).
2. All core requirements must be taken under the Letter Grading System. All courses listed as requirements for one’s major(s) must be taken under the Letter Grading System unless the major department permits otherwise. A minimum of 96 semester hours must be earned under the Letter Grading System for the bachelor’s degree, and 48 semester hours for the associate’s degree.
3. To assist the University’s efforts in maintaining the quality of its academic program, students are required to participate in all assigned assessment activities. All first year students in the B.A., B.S., and B.S.N. programs must participate in pre-core assessment testing. Upperclassmen in these same programs must participate in post-core and major field testing to graduate from Â鶹²ú¾«¹úÆ·. Graduating students must score no lower than one standard deviation below the national mean (unless otherwise specified by the policy of the student’s major department) in all post-core and capstone major field testing. Students who do not earn the minimum scores must retake the test one time at their own expense to achieve an accurate measurement of the student’s ability. Students who expect to graduate at any specific graduation date should ascertain from a faculty advisor in their major field(s) whether a comprehensive or specialized examination is required to complete the major requirements.
4. Students must fill out the Application for Graduation, obtain approval, and submit to the Registrar’s Office by the appropriate deadlines. See section on Graduation Applications.
5. In addition to the academic and non-curricular requirements for all degrees, students must satisfy all financial obligations to the University before receiving their transcript and diploma.
