Note:
- You will need to visit each of the offices listed above to be cleared. Adult Degree Program students have the option of calling the offices directly to be cleared. Once you have cleared, that office will update student’s status in the University student information system.
- Once you have completed all course requirements as well as steps noted above for clearance the Registrar’s Office, located in Debnam Hall, 2nd floor, (919) 546-8414, will perform your FINAL clearance degree audit, confer and order your degree.
- If you begin the process and later realize that you will not complete degree requirements on your anticipated graduation date, you will need to complete and submit a new graduation application for the subsequent semester and restart the process at Step #1.
