Degree Planning

Foster School undergraduate students may apply to graduate once they have earned senior status at 135 credits.

You are responsible for making sure that you have fulfilled all the requirements necessary for graduation, but business advisers are here to support, guide and refer you to resources for help with this exciting, if scary, transition.

There are several tools that you can use to help you plan:

• Undergraduate Programs Office Academic Advising
• Degree Audit Report System (DARS)
• UW Graduation Office
• Dean's List and Honors
• Add an Option

Apply for Graduation

To officially graduate with the Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration you must apply to graduate. The process begins on-line and is completed, in-person, in the Undergraduate Programs Office (UPO) located in 137 Mackenzie Hall. The UPO then submits the required documents to the Graduation Office in Schmitz Hall.

• To register with Graduating Senior Priority (GSP) for your final two quarters, you must apply for graduation three quarters ahead of time. For example, if you are graduating in June, apply for graduation in autumn.

• If you do not want to submit an application early, you must make an appointment to see an adviser in the UPO before the third Friday of your final quarter.
  
  The deadline to apply for graduation is the third Friday of any quarter. Applications submitted after that date will result in degree conferral the following quarter.
