Degrees will be granted at the end of the semester in which students complete:
- All program course requirements and minimum number of credits required for their program within 1.5 times the attempted credits.
- A program of study must be completed within a reasonable period of time for a student to be eligible for graduation. The Institute defines “reasonable time” as the credit hours attempted cannot exceed 1.5 times the credit hours required to complete the program. Students who do not complete their studies during this maximum time frame will be placed on academic warning and will have to complete their program requirements under the conditions of their academic warning. For more information, please see the Academic Warning section.
- GPA requirements for graduation.
- All undergraduate students must have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 to graduate.
- Fulfillment of financial and obligations to the school.
Note: if a student receives an “I” grade in a course required for graduation in the student’s final semester, the student will not graduate until the semester in which the “I” is replaced by a letter grade. During that semester, the student must reapply for graduation.
