Program Completion Plan

Contact your Advisor or School of Graduate Studies to discuss a plan to complete the program within the allotted time during the program’s teach-out period before its closure.

All courses will conclude by the last semester listed; no offerings after that semester.

To stay on track:

  • Register for courses in the term they are scheduled—they will not be offered again

  • Meet with your Advisor to confirm your plan and discuss any possible course substitutions; review your degree audit report each semester.

  • Apply for graduation one semester before you plan to graduate.
