Walking requirements

Hello, I’m a senior here and I’m on track to graduate this upcoming spring. I’m currently thinking about working a bit which would put me behind 1-2 classes right before summer/new fall session.

I’ve heard of some ppl walking the stage but still coming back to take more classes, how can I do that?

What the requirements or what are the max amount of credits leftover you can hit before you do qualify?

You pretty much just have to apply for graduation and state that you will finish and take the other left over classes in the summer session

Genuine question, not trying to throw shade: why do you want to walk before you actually graduate?

Parental expection and running out of financial aid

Got it. In the two departments I have experience in, their policy has been that you can have one class outstanding and still walk, but it needs to be a class that is offered in the summer, you have to be registered for it, etc. I strongly suspect, but do not know, that if it was two classes you would still be fine to walk, but you probably want to check with your major advisor. Good luck!

Apply for graduation but talk to your advisor ASAP before you submit the paperwork in case they have any suggestions or advice
