Academic Progress and Graduation

University Policy

College of Communication Policy

It is the responsibility of all students in the College of Communication to be aware of the graduation and academic requirements. Copies are available at COM Student Services. Graduation requirements are detailed further in curriculum planning guides available at each COM department. Students are responsible for knowing the graduation requirements for their programs and their own status regarding fulfillment of these requirements.

An Application for Graduation must be filed one year before the expected date of graduation. The form is available at the Student Services office in COM Room 123.

A total of 32 courses and 128 semester credit hours (excluding physical education) are required for the degree. No more than 16 credits completed with the grade of D may be accepted for the degree. Students who have met the major course requirements are still required to complete 128 credits. Degrees must be completed within seven years after a student first matriculates. Credits received seven or more years before a student’s expected date of graduation are not transferable.
