Degree Checks!
May and August 2015 Graduates - Apply for graduation and complete your degree check!

Come in before the end of the semester to complete your degree check. You need to apply for graduation in UAccess Student (look for the link on the right side) and then make an appointment with your advisor for your degree check (advising.cs.arizona.edu).
If you apply for graduation after February 1, you will have to pay a late fee of $50.
Questions? Please stop by GS 901 for walk-in hours. (Please note: you must make an appointment for a degree check.)
