In order to graduate, students must petition for a degree and pay the twenty-five dollar Diploma Fee. If you do not graduate in the semester for which you filed, then submit a reactivation petition when ready to graduate. Take the completed Petition to the Cashier's Office in Lyman Hall, pay the Diploma Fee, and have your Degree Petition validated by the cashier. Co-ops should obtain the appropriate signature. Turn the petition with the checksheet in to the Degree Certification Office for final review.
Transfer credit is granted by one of two means.
For most lower division courses the Admissions Office or the Registrar, upon review of a transcript, will automatically give credit for courses taken at other institutions. Otherwise the student must convince an instructor in the appropriate department at Tech that the non-resident course is equivalent to a course here. You should check at a later date to make sure the form did indeed reach the Registrar. You will be notified of the outcome of your request by e-mail. Please feel free to check on the status of your request at any time.
