DEGREE CANDIDATE.

A student of junior or senior classification who has filed a Degree Application in the Office of the Registrar is considered a degree candidate.  The permanent record of each degree candidate is checked for completion of requirements and a senior check sheet is prepared that shows what requirements still need to be fulfilled.  After verification of the senior check sheet by the student and major advisor(s), the student's name will be included on the official list of verified degree candidates (see CHECKSHEET, SENIOR.).
