For each degree offered
by the University of
Richmond, there are
specific academic
requirements that must
be satisfied before the
degree can be granted.
The student is
responsible for knowing
the specific
requirements and
planning appropriately
to allow for the timely
completion of these
requirements. The
catalogs of each
school list the degree
requirements appropriate
to students in that
school. The University
provides either or both
faculty advisors and
administrative personnel
to assist students with
their graduation plans.
However, the final
responsibility for
meeting degree
requirements rests
solely with the student.
