Please note that Advisor Approval of your NOC is required. You and your advisor should review your progress towards degree using the degree audit and transcript available via MMW. Prior to submitting your NOC, you must register for all remaining degree requirements and discuss your graduation status with your advisor. Once you submit your NOC, a notice will go to your academic advisor requesting their approval. Following advisor approval of your NOC, you will be unable to drop or withdraw from any courses without permission from the Registrar. Once your advisor has approved your NOC, the form will go to the department chair/program director of your major(s)/minor(s). Following their approval, the NOC will be forwarded to my office for final review. You will receive an email confirmation when the NOC is received.
The following guidelines are offered to help you when reviewing degree requirements:
- If there is an approved substitution for a course on the major or minor, this must be communicated by the department chair/program director through the Course Substitution Form on MMW.
- You must register for all remaining degree requirements prior to submitting your NOC. Do not register for extra courses that you plan to drop before the semester starts. An accurate course schedule will allow your advisor, chair/director, and the Registrar to better assess your plans and will prevent you from needing to contact the Registrar about changes in your schedule. Additionally, remember that following advisor approval of your NOC, you will be unable to drop or withdraw from any courses without permission from the Registrar.
- Be sure that you have met (or are registered to meet) the requirements for graduation as listed at the top of your degree audit. Keep in mind that graduation requirements for students who matriculated to RMC prior to Fall 2023 differ from the graduation requirements for students who matriculated Fall 2023 or later.
Once the Registrar receives your NOC, your academic record will be reviewed to ensure all requirements are in progress or complete. The Registrar will send an email to each student and their academic advisor indicating one of the following:
- If you successfully complete the courses for which you are currently registered, you will be academically eligible for graduation.
OR
- You have issues that you must address to be academically eligible for graduation.
Please note that it takes multiple weeks to review audits for all potential graduates, so you will not hear from the Registrar immediately after submitting your NOC form.
