Graduation Deadlines

One year before graduation

A student who is one year from graduating should request a senior audit from the School of Science Dean's Office, LD 222. Senior audits provide students, who have 80+ credit hours a detailed account of how their IUPUI and/or transfer classes will count towards their science major. Applications for senior audits are available in the School of Science Dean's Office, LD 222 or you can download the application directly and print it. Completed forms should be submitted to the School of Science's Director of Student Records and Retention in the School of Science Dean's Office, LD 222. Senior audits will take 4-6 weeks to process and the audit will be sent to the student through regular mail. Students are only provided one senior audit.

Graduation Audits

School of Science students who have applied for graduation will have a graduation audit prepared approximately 6 weeks before the start of their final semester/summer session. Graduation audits are only prepared for students after they have registered for their final semester.

The School of Science Dean's Office and the student's major department will review the graduation audit. Both departments will determine if a student is recommended for graduation. An e-mail will be sent to a student's IUPUI e-mail account regarding the graduation recommendation. If a student is not recommended for graduation, a student will be provided with the list of remaining requirements that will need to be completed before recommendation will be considered. If remaining requirements are not corrected in a timely manner, a student's name will be removed from the graduation list.
