The Key To Your Graduation can be found by reading and doing the information on this page.
Step1: Avoid the Graduation Trap
- Read all of the information provided to you by DeVry.
- Undergraduate students, complete the Graduation Application within 2 weeks after Senior Fest.
- Attend all Senior Fest Events.
- Questions you should ask yourself:
Did I complete a diploma application?
Did I purchase a cap and gown from Jostens?
Did I order a class ring?
Did I arrange for a cap and gown picture?
Did I schedule an appointment with my Career Advisor?
Did I attend an exit interview with Student Finance?
Do I know the time and place for the graduation?
If you do not know what needs to be done to complete any of these tasks please call Career Services at (972) 929-9353
Step 2: Have you checked to make sure you are on the potential Graduation List?
You may go to Student Central to check and make sure you are on the graduation list. If your name is not on the list you will not be able to graduate therefore it is very important that you confirm this.
The Potential Graduate List will be posted at the beginning of week 5.
