Honor Society® Expert FAQ
How do you plan classes to graduate on time?
Plan classes for graduation by reviewing your degree audit, prerequisites, course availability, and remaining requirements with an adviser. Total credits alone do not guarantee that you have completed the right courses.
Build from degree requirements and prerequisite sequences
Map required sequences across future terms, noting courses offered only in certain semesters and any admission or grade requirements. Check whether transferred or elective credits fulfill a specific requirement or only add to the total. Leave room for required internships, projects, or capstone work.
Build a backup plan for full classes and scheduling conflicts. Before adding a heavy load or summer term, compare cost, workload, and aid eligibility. Confirm the official graduation application and review deadlines; completing coursework and receiving the degree can involve separate administrative steps.
Your next steps
- Compare your transcript with the current degree audit.
- Map prerequisites and limited-availability courses across terms.
