Step 1

You can make an appointment with a counselor for a Graduation Check or Evaluation if you are due to graduate in Spring/Summer 2022. We encourage you to make your appointments now so you know what classes you need in Spring. The final Graduation Evaluation deadline to meet with a counselor is March 11, 2022. All appointments must be completed no later than this date.

(If you are graduating this fall, please continue to submit your petitions by making an appointment and completing Step 2.)
