The checklist below can be useful in preparing for graduation, but is not intended to take the place of a thorough review of the worksheet and transcript with an academic advisor. Check the timelines for May, December or August graduation to insure that all requirements are met on time.
Total Credit Units Required for Graduation
CU required for the major + 20 CU outside the major = Total number of CU required for graduation
	• The total number of CU required for graduation ranges from 32 and 36 depending on the major. • Students completing more than one major base the number of CU required for graduation on the major that requires the higher number of CU. • Majors that require more than 16 CU need fewer CU outside the major. • After all cu for the major are counted, at least 16 additional cu of College courses were taken. (i.e., not courses from Wharton, Fine Arts, etc.)
