When you apply for graduation, an evaluation of your courses, credits, and gpa will be done by the Records Office (for Masters Students, please contact the Graduate Studies Office) to determine if you have met the degree requirements. The evaluation is based on the degree requirements from your catalog-in-force. You will be contacted to pick up a printout of the evaluation.

The main components are:

• General Education Credit Requirements (55 credits)

• Major course, credit, and grade requirements

• Overall completion of at least 124 credits; of which 32 credits must be earned from UOG courses

• Overall upper division (300/400 level) course completion of at least 40 credits

• Cumulative minimum GPA of 2.00 (some majors require higher GPA's; do consult your catalog for details)

• Non-payment will result in referral to the University’s external collection agency and will be reported to the credit bureau. Students will be referred 30 days after the date of Commencement.
