Check with your college Recorder to see that your major(s) or minor(s) are officially declared and correctly noted on your record.  If you are no longer pursuing a listed major or minor, please make sure that it is deleted from your record.

Prior to making your Senior Check appointment, we strongly encourage you to check with your advisor(s) in your major(s) to insure that you are on track for graduation within your major(s) as well.  During your Senior Check, the Student Records Office will determine remaining core requirements, overall credits and general University requirements.  The Records office will not confirm the completion of your major until the degree certification process which occurs at the end of your college career.

Check with your college Recorder/Academic Advisor to see that your major(s) and or minor(s) requirements have been fulfilled.  If you are no longer pursuing a listed major or minor, please make sure that it is deleted from your record.

The Arts & Sciences Student Records Office, 329 Hall of Languages, has a pre-printed form for the B.S. degree.  When you do your Senior Check, your recorder will give you the form to bring to your department.  Economic students should bring it to the Assistant to the Chair.  The student then returns the completed form to the Student Records Office.

Check with your College Recorder/Academic Advisor to make sure that the official transcripts of all credit you intend to have included toward your degree have been received and evaluated.

All coursework must be completed and handed in prior to graduation dates. 

May grads – work due by May 4th
August grads – work due by August 3th
December grads – work due by December 31st
Work completed after the above dates automatically changes your graduation date.
Make sure your professors agree to the latest date of completion.

Diplomas are mailed to the address entered on the Diploma Request link.  When an undergraduate student attains Junior standing (54 credits or more), the File Diploma Request link becomes available under Student Services in MySlice.  Students must use this link to specify the term in which they intend to graduate and to provide information for their diploma.  If your information is not complete, you will not receive commencement mailings with event calendars and dinner dance reservation forms, most importantly, you will not receive your diploma!. Students must also contact their home school or college to review all graduation requirements.

Senior mailings are sent to the local address as it appears on MySlice, the Syracuse University information system.  Make sure that it is correct and current.
