After earning ninety (90) hours, to be certified as a candidate for graduation, the student must file an application form with the dean. (In order to obtain the application form, the student must first present a paid receipt to the dean’s office that the $30 graduation fee has been paid to the university cashier.)

In the College of Education and Allied Professions, graduation applications are obtained in Killian 222. Once completed, the dean will send the application to the student’s department head.

The student and the adviser will meet to determine all requirements remaining to be completed. The student will sign the application after remaining requirements are specified.

At the beginning of the final semester, the application will be updated, signed and certified by the department head as fulfilling all requirements not including the final semester, and returned to the dean who will sign it and forward it to the Registrar.

Undergraduate students should begin this procedure immediately after ninety (90) hours have been earned.

Specific deadlines for filing degree applications are listed in the academic calendar.

Students who will be eligible for a teaching license in North Carolina must also apply for a teaching license.
