In preparation for May 2016 graduation, we strongly advise that you take a moment to review your academic record to make sure that you are on track to graduate. You are responsible for making sure you are in compliance with all the graduation requirements.
Four Steps to Confirm You are on Track for Graduation:
- Degree Audit:
The program is available via Albert and will assist you with counting adjunct credits, determining what requirements have been completed and/or remain to be completed. We are still, however, working with the University as Degree Audit does not accurately reflect the number of non-law credits that count towards the JD degree. You must check your transcript for the correct credit allocation for non-law classes. As updates are made to Degree Audit we will keep you apprised. See the instructions on how to generate a Degree Audit report and obtain other important Degree Audit information here.
NOTE: Degree Audit has not yet been updated with the new adjunct course rules that will be effective starting with the class of 2017.
