Getting to Graduation

Knowing your degree requirements will help you stay on track and ensure that you’ll be able to maintain your projected graduation date.

Not planning appropriately or withdrawing from any course (especially one that is a prerequisite requirement) could result in extra time at the university — and potentially more student loans and/or additional charges that you need to repay.
