Senior Packet Excerpt – A Must Read!

Excerpt from Preparing for Graduation Website (Under Repair):

This website will contain important information about the graduation process and Wesleyan’s graduation requirements. As you choose courses and build a program of study for your senior year, it is essential that you know exactly where you stand in terms of fulfilling Wesleyan’s graduation requirements so that everything goes smoothly when degree certification takes place in the Spring. Please review the contents carefully and contact Dean Thornton immediately (217 North College, 860.685.2765, rjohnson01@wesleyan.edu), if you have any questions or concerns.

Graduation does not just happen; you must make it happen! It is important that you fully understand Wesleyan’s graduation requirements (completion of a major, 32 credits without oversubscription, GPA of at least 74.00, residency) and that you are able to interpret your academic record in light of these requirements. Remember, you are responsible for your own graduation and must fulfill all graduation requirements by the end of the Spring 2018 semester in order to participate in the Commencement ceremony in May 2018.
