The overall requirements for graduation from The University of Arizona can be broken down into three sub-components:
All course work and unit requirements must be completed before the degree can be awarded.The University of Arizona requires a minimum GPA (grade point average) of 2.0 on all University of Arizona coursework.An application for degree candidacy must be submitted to the Graduation Services Office before a degree and diploma can be awarded.
Using color-coded text, all specific degree requirements are outlined on the SAPR. If the requirement has been met, it will bedisplayed in green text, and if the requirement has not been met, the text will be displayed in red. This format easily identifies whatrequirements still need to be met. Depending on your department, some of the specific requirements may include, but are notlimited to:
The major requirements are those requirements within the student's major. The major requirement will be color coded in green or red, depending on whether all of the sub-requirements have been met. If only a plus (+) signs are listed for each sub-requirement,the major requirement will be in green; indicating the major requirement has been completed.
If there is at least one minus (-) sign, the major requirement will be in red; indicating there are still outstanding sub-requirementsthat must be completed before the major requirement is considered complete.
These courses are those which the student took, but could not be applied toward a requirement or sub-requirement within thedegree program(s). Examples of such courses are courses transferred from other institutions, general elective courses, or other UA course work.
It is advisable to consult with your academic advisor to make certain that none of the courses listed in this section can be used tofulfill other degree requirements.
