I understand that in order to be awarded a degree from NVC, I
must meet unit, general education, major and graduation
requirements. If I fail to meet any requirements, I understand I
must re-apply for graduation for the next term once all the
requirements are met.
I have reviewed the student’s academic record and have
determined that he/she will meet the entire unit, GPA, general
education and graduation requirements, if completed as
indicated on the petition. It appears that he/she has met the
major requirements, but final approval rests with the Program
Coordinator/A&R.
