Walker College of Business Academic Advising Graduation Audit
A graduation audit is an official review of the courses you have taken and your progress in meeting graduation requirements. It requires the student’s signature as well as the signature of someone in the advising office. Graduation audits should be completed early in the semester prior to the last semester of classes – students doing an internship or study abroad during their last semester will need to do an audit two semesters prior to graduation.
When should I get a graduation audit?
Students should get a graduation audit during the semester just prior to the last regular semester of course work (this will be one semester prior to graduation for most students and two semesters prior to graduation for those doing an internship or a study abroad program in their last semester.
Get a graduation audit early in the fall semester if . . .1. You are finishing all course work in the following spring or summer and will graduate in that spring or summer, or
2. You are finishing all course work in the spring or summer before doing an internship or study abroad program during the summer or fall (graduating at the end of the internship term or study abroad term).
Get a graduation audit early in the spring semester if . . .
1. You are finishing all course work in the following fall and will graduate at the end of that term, or
2. You are finishing all course work (except accounting mini-courses) in the following fall before doing an internship or study abroad program during the following spring (graduating at the end of the spring term).
What if I want to get a graduation audit done earlier to make sure I am on track?
Graduation audits will only be done according to the schedule above. However, students can make sure they are on track bymaking an appointment to see a business advisor anytime to review academic progress.
Is it true that I cannot get a seat in MGT 4750/4760 (Strategic Management) until I have done a Graduation Audit?
Yes! Students must do a graduation audit and advising survey before being allowed to register for MGT 4750/4760. All seats in MGT 4750/4760 are reserved for graduating seniors. Any student getting a seat in MGT 4750/4760 will need to do a graduation audit and advising survey first.
How do I make an appointment and what do I bring with me?
Notebooks labeled Graduation Audit are in the service windows outside of the Advising Center service window (2126 Raley) during the scheduled time for graduation audits each semester (typically this will be the three or four weeks immediately following the drop/add period).
Students who do not arrange to have an audit done during the designated audit period must wait until AFTER the early registration period to have an audit done. When signing up for a graduation audit, it is important that you indicate all majors and minors that you intend to complete. If you are pursuing a minor that requires the approval of the minor department, be sure that we have a copy of the minor contract in your file at least three days prior to your audit.
The audit will be reviewed with you at the time of your appointment. You do not need to bring anything with you to the audit.
