When we receive your materials, we audit them, obtain the additional necessary signatures, make copies for your file and send the originals to the Graduate School.  Please note: if you took an elective online at a different university, you must include with your graduation application materials an original copy of a transcript from this other university as proof that you completed this elective course.  The Graduate School will NOT process your graduation application until they receive this transcript.

Once the Graduate School has your materials they are in charge of the process and have the final say so in your graduation.  They audit your materials a final time and declare and confer the degree.  If all requirements have been met, the Graduate School confers the degree to you.  All questions about diplomas, etc. should be directed to the Graduate School.
