Catalog & Student Handbook

Application for Degree Requirement

Upon completion of six regular terms, degree-seeking students who have not yet applied for degree will receive notification from the Student Enrollment Status Manager in the Student Service Center informing them that they will need to submit the Application for Degree form, preferably within the following week. At the very latest, students are required to file this Application for Degree prior to registering for classes in the term preceding their graduation term.
Before submitting this degree application, students should run another degree evaluation in myBerea to make certain that all degree requirements are recorded correctly. Any deficiencies can be discussed with their Academic Advisor prior to registration in the terms leading up to graduation. (Also see "Course Substitutions and Waivers of Degree Requirements" below.)
After the Application for Degree has been filed, it is the student's responsibility to inform the Student Enrollment Status Manager of changes in plans or programs. All requirements for the degree, except regular course work, must be completed 30 days prior to the commencement at which the student will graduate.
Students who file the Application for Degree are expected to attend Commencement Exercises. Failure to do so, without approval from the Enrollment Policies Committee, will result in a processing fee in order to receive the diploma.

Neither diplomas nor transcripts will be issued to students with past-due student accounts.
