11. I will still have a few credits left after this semester. Is there any way I can petition to walk in the graduation ceremony with my friends even though I won't be completely finished?

Yes. You can walk in the graduation ceremony if you have 12 or less credits remaining to graduate. You just need to go down to Admissions & Records and fill out a form. This will allow you to get a cap and gown, etc. The only difference between you and students officially graduating will be that their names will be listed in the program. Also, if you have more than 12 credits remaining, you may still be able to walk; talk to Admissions & Records.

12. Please explain the different credit requirements for graduation.

The three things to watch for are: 1) your specific class requirements, 2) your total number of credits (need 128 to graduate), and 3) your number of upper division (300-400 level) credits (need 40 to graduate). Number of credits is not usually a problem for a student who has been attending full-time, but when you double-count a lot of classes sometimes you run a little short.
