- Make course election based on educational and career goals, while consulting frequently with your academic advisor.
- If you have not completed the Civics Exam, we recommend doing so in your first year.
- Truman students are required to complete a Portfolio to graduate. We recommend starting to compile your work for the Portfolio sooner than later.
- CLAS 461: Classics Capstone Experience is WE/; make sure to take one other WE/ course in the course of your time at Truman.
- Students must complete their Application to Graduate the semester prior to graduating. Apply to graduate through TruView.
- Graduating seniors need to complete their seniors test and questionnaire. We recommend reviewing the Assessment & Testing page to plan accordingly.
