Graduation A minimum of 128 credits is required for graduation. Ordinarily, a student is eligible to graduate from High Point University provided that the last 32 credits of enrolled coursework have been earned at High Point University. However, if circumstances require a student to take coursework elsewhere during his last year, he will be eligible to graduate from High Point University provided that the following two conditions are met: 1. the student must have completed at least 96 credits at High Point University; 2. the student must have completed at least 26 of the last 32 credits at High Point University (i.e., no more than 6 credits can be transferred in during the last year). No student will be allowed to graduate unless he has an overall grade point average of 2.0, and a grade point average of 2.0 in courses used to satisfy the requirements for the major. A minimum of one-third of the credits (in addition to any required practica or internship) required to satisfy major requirements must be taken at High Point University. Application for Graduation Each student expecting to graduate from High Point University must submit an application for graduation to the Registrar early in the student’s senior year. The purpose of this application is to assure that all requirements will be completed prior to the expected graduation date. Students who delay completion of this application risk being unable to graduate on time due to unsatisfied requirements.
