*** To obtain a Double Degree you must have completed all requirements for both degrees and have at least 88 units over the degree requirements for one degree (263 units).

Missing Requirements:

The University Registrar will review your coursework and ensure that you have met all academic requirements for graduation.  If you are missing requirements, the Registrar will request that you return to SCU to complete your degree. This may include but is not limited to coursework you may drop after the graduation paperwork has been submitted.

Participation in Commencement Ceremony

If you plan to participate in the Commencement Ceremony in June you must fill out and return the Undergraduate Response Form, which will be mailed to you by the Commencement Office, OR complete the form online at http://www.scu.edu/commencement/

If you are not graduating in the spring quarter, you may still petition to walk in the Commencement ceremony if at the end of the spring quarter, you need ten or fewer units to complete your degree requirements, and you need no more than two classes to satisfy graduation requirements. Petition forms are available in the Registrar's office.

Lastly, congratulations on your achievement!
