Certification for Degrees in Course

It is the prerogative of the faculty to determine whether or not a candidate for a degree in course has fulfilled the requirements for that degree.  No candidate may be certified for a degree in course over the objections of the faculty.  A student who is not certified for graduation by the faculty but believes he or she is entitled to graduate may appeal the decision through the Academic Petitions Committee.
