IMPORTANT GENERAL EDUCATION NOTE:
Only students following the Engineering G.E. program are required to file a General Education Graduation application form. However, because we are required by our accrediting agency (Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology, ABET) to document all of our students’ General Education programs, we ask you to please complete the Academic Progress Record normally found in the printed University Class Schedule, if you are following the University G.E. program. Please print neatly, enter your name and student number at the top of the form and turn it in with your graduation application. No documentation will be required. The Engineering office can supply this form to you, if necessary.

ON-LINE GRADUATION APPLICATION PROCEDURE

All graduation applications (1 form for students following the University G.E., 2 forms for students following the Engineering G.E.) and instructions are available on-line through the University web page.
