Graduation requirements are the responsibility of the student.  You have the online university catalog, your Degree Audit Planner (OneCampus), faculty advisors, and Highlander Success Center to advise you throughout your career at Radford University.

Minimum requirements for graduation from Radford University are outlined below.  Each major and degree type includes specific program of study requirements, credit hour minimums, and minimum grade or grade point averages. Review your online degree audit in OneCampus to ensure you meet all requirements and are on track to graduate. If you believe a correction is needed to your degree audit, it is your responsibility to meet with your advisor to ensure you meet all requirements for graduation.

Any Radford catalog year between enrollment and graduation may be used to meet undergraduate graduation requirements, as long as it is no more than five years old at the time of a student's graduation from the University.  Readmitted students must use the catalog currently in use under which they are readmitted.
