Your eligibility to graduate and receive your award is provisional on the following requirements:  

  1. The completion of all academic requirements of your program
  2. The submission of a USI that can be verified by the University, OR, the submission of a USI Exemption to the University. 

If you are unsure, please complete the USI Quiz
