Is My Student on Track to Graduate?
SPU has many resources and ways to track academic progress.
View Past Tips Archives
- Tutorials. New students complete the Online Tutorial before Orientation/New Student Advising, which introduces all requirements and available resources.
- Checklists. Students receive a graduation checklist when they arrive that outlines all general education requirements. Major/minor requirements are in the Undergraduate Catalog.
- People resources. Undergraduate students are assigned a faculty advisor and an academic counselor to help with registration, academic progress, and degree-completion requirements. Students without a major are required to see their faculty advisors to register. Students with a majors are encouraged to make appointments.
- Online help. Students access the Degree Status Check (DSC) in the Banner Information System. Available 24/7, the DSC shows students how their SPU classes (and transfer credits) count toward requirements, and what’s “not completed.”
- Sequences. Every major lists a suggested course sequence in the Undergraduate Catalog that outlines how to complete a degree in four years.
- Quarterly check ins. Academic counselors communicate quarterly with their students to keep them on track; reminding them to apply for their major and graduation.
