Students in a W. P. Carey degree program must complete a Declaration of Graduation prior to completing 87 semester hours. Failure to do so results in being prevented from further registration. The process of completing these documents helps you to select the right courses to complete graduation requirements for your degree.  Please consult an academic advisor if you have questions or need assistance in completing this critical process.
