August Graduation

Graduation Process for August 2013 graduates

Step 1 – Submit Your Intent to Graduate – All Fox School students who expect to graduate in August 2013 must file an “Intent to Graduate” with the Fox School by Friday, February 15. Your academic advisor will complete a graduation review and send you a list of your remaining requirements prior to registering for your final semester.

All students should review their DARS report and their program information in Banner to be sure their information is accurate. Students should see their academic advisors to report errors or make corrections to programs.

Step 2 – Review your summer course registration - please verify that you are registered for the courses listed on your “Courses Remaining for Graduation” that you received from your academic advisor and check your DARS report to be sure all your requirements are met. Report any discrepancies to your advisor. If you did not successfully complete all of your spring and/or summer courses, your remaining requirements will need to be revised – please contact your academic advisor: http://www.fox.temple.edu/cms_academics/dept/advising/staff/advising-staff/
