2. Complete the Senior Exit Exam
Graduation requirements for all undergraduate students include completion of the Senior Exit Exam. Note: in order to receive your diploma, all graduation candidates are asked to complete the Senior Exit Exam (ETS Proficiency Profile). Although called an exam, it is not what you may think. The exam is NOT GRADED and you don’t have to “pass” to have your diploma released—you just have to take it and answer the multiple choice questions to the best of your ability. Your completion of the Senior Exit Exam allows us to evaluate how well we are preparing you in areas of general education and thus improve our curriculum for future students. The Exam will take about an hour of your time. Remember, you must complete this Exam to receive your diploma, so don’t wait—register for a test date now.
