At the start of your Junior year, you are required to complete a Junior Degree Check. This formalized third-year degree audit requires you to identify the remaining number of courses/credits for your degree among:

  • General Education requirements
  • Major requirements
  • Any eventual Minor requirements
  • Open electives

We also ask that you spend time determining the most desirable sequencing of these requirements.

Please read the instructions below carefully.
