Graduating Seniors – Course Audit
 Students preparing to graduate must meet with their major advisor to audit their Biology
Degree Requirements. This should be done early in the semester prior to their terminal
undergraduate semester of study.
 To complete the Graduation Audit process, students must bring a hard copy of their
transcript to the meeting (unofficial transcript is acceptable). The student and advisor will
verify all properly completed courses (minimum: 38 credits with C or better) and prepare a
plan of action for any additional courses or requirements that must be completed in the
terminal semester.
 The audit is formally recorded on the attached Graduation Audit sheet. Both student and
advisor must sign the audit to verify that all information provided is accurate and correct and
that the student and advisor are in agreement with the academic plan for the terminal
semester.
 After completing the audit, the student must bring the completed audit to the department
office so that copies can be made for the student, advisor, and for department files.
 You must file for graduation throught the Office of Academic
Services. Specific deadlines and instructions are at
http://www.ncas.rutgers.edu/graduation. You may scan this QR with
your smart-phone to acces this webpage.
 Please notice that the audit process is independent of the Certification for Graduation in the
Major, which is done after you file for graduation online
