Check with the College of Arts and Sciences Advising Office.

How do I know what transferred in as what?
If this was not clear during orientation, then see the correct advisor about his decision.  For example, if you have a question concerning a core class, see the College of Arts and Sciences Advising office. If you have a question concerning a RTVF class, see an RTVF advisor.

What do I take next semester?
That question is for you, the student, to answer.  Plan your enrollment needs by consulting our career tracking hand-outs available in the RTVF office.  If you are a Pre-major, concentrate on finishing the Pre-major requirements listed in the sheet with the gray bar. If you are a Major, check the RTVF requirement tracking sheet and your degree plan to see what core requirements you need to take to finish your degree requirements. 

It has been a long time since my degree plan came out.  How do I update it?

I think that I am close to graduating.  What do I need to take to finish my degree?
Go to the College of Arts and Sciences Advising. You need to file for a graduation check.

What is a graduation check and when do I need to file for one?
A graduation check is filed the semester before the semester in which you plan to graduate (i.e.:  file in Fall if you plan to graduate at the end of Spring).  A graduation check updates your degree plan and provides you with a list of courses that you still need to complete to graduate.

When and where do I need to file for graduation?
The deadline for graduation is at the beginning of the semester in which you plan to graduate; for example, no later than mid- February for Spring.  The application should be turned in at the College of Arts and Sciences Advising office.  If this is done on time, the application is free. If you miss the deadline, there is a $25 late fee.
