January Graduation

Graduation Process for January 2014 graduates

Step 1 – Submit Your Intent to Graduate – All Fox School students who expect to graduate in January 2014 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 – Check your Email - After your intent to graduate has been processed, your academic advisor will complete and e-mail you a graduation review also known as courses remaining to graduate.  If you do not successfully complete these courses, your remaining requirements will need to be revised – please contact your academic advisor: http://sbm.temple.edu/advising/staff.html
