All students are required to participate in such studies as requested.

In subsequent years as alumni, graduates are encouraged to participate in assessment by completing questionnaires sent to them by the university.

To assure graduating at the end of a specific semester, all work for that semester and any delayed grades from previous semesters must be completed with the grades sent to the Office of Admissions no later than the official date for submission of final semester grades.
