GRADUATION CORD FAQ’S

Q: What if I am still completing hours for a class after the deadline to submit my hours? 

A: You should still complete the application and include the hours that you currently have complete and the anticipated date that your remaining hours will be completed. 

Q: I am a student in the School of Education, do I need to complete the application to receive a cord for my student teaching hours?

A: Yes! You will need to complete an application but you will not need to upload your student teaching hours. We will verify your hours with the School of Education.

Q: Can I include my observation hours for my class?

A: Observation hours do not count towards service to the community.

Q: I cannot find my original paperwork. What is another option to verify my hours?

A: You will need to fill out a new log and have your site supervisor or professor sign it.
