Graduation Requirements
In addition to meeting the major and minor (if any) requirements, every Undergraduate college graduate must do the following:
  1. Complete a minimum of 120 semester hours of degree credit, including all required courses; only courses numbered 1000 or higher may count toward graduation. Courses repeated to achieve a required grade of C are to be counted only once toward the degree even though cumulative hours on the transcript and on grade reports include all attempts resulting in a passing grade.
  2. Earn an average of C (2.0), both for cumulative work and work in the major field(s) and the minor field(s) (if any).
  3. Satisfy all basic proficiency requirements and the freshman writing proficiency requirement.
  4. Satisfy all General Education requirements.
  5. Complete a minimum of 30 hours at St. Edward's University.
  6. Complete thirty of the last fifty hours of credit toward the degree in residence at St. Edward's. A student must be enrolled at St. Edward's for the semester of graduation.
  7. Initiate certification of each major and minor with the dean of the school offering that program. Deadlines for requesting certification are determined by the school deans. The signed certification(s) must arrive in the Registrar's Office by the published university-wide certification deadline for that term.
  8. A student must register for GDCT 4000 for the semester in which the student intends to graduate.
  9. Complete the Computer Competency Requirement tests prior to graduation.

    Note: St. Edward's University diplomas indicate the degree earned (e.g., Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Business Administration) but not the major.

 
In addition, the following conditions pertain:

  2. In order for the diploma to be granted and transcripts to be issued, the student must have met all of his or her financial obligations to the university.
  3. Each student graduating will be asked to verify the name to appear on the diploma. Changes must be received in the Registrar's Office by the specified date or the diploma will be issued with the name as it appears on the academic record.
