Graduation Requirements

Applying for Graduation
Candidates for graduation initiate the certification process by completing the Graduation Application when prompted by their advisor or by campus communications. Details concerning the application deadlines can be found on the calendar on the IU Columbus website and are available from the advisor or the division sections of this bulletin.
Completion of Degree Requirements

Students should discuss their graduation requirements when they meet with their advisor and review their degree audit to make sure they are accurate.

Students should talk with their advisor to make sure they are on track to graduate and ask any questions they may have relating to the completion of their degree requirements. Common mistakes that result in a student’s failure to graduate are unacceptable grades and not registering for necessary courses, dropping courses during the last semester, or otherwise failing to complete required courses. Students may graduate with incompletes on their record, provided they are not for required courses. Residency requirements also affect graduation eligibility.

Required Grade Point Average
In addition to completing all the required course work, students must have a specific overall grade point average and a specific GPA in their program to graduate. Most divisions also require grades of C or higher in program courses. Students should familiarize themselves with the policies of their program.
