am i graduating???
I completed my first 3 years and received a BA degree. Now I'm back at mac and am completing my 4th year to get the BA(H) degree and will be done in April.

However, when I look at my degree audit on mugsi it now says "COURSES INELIGIBLE FOR THIS PROGRAMME" above all my courses from year 1,2 &3.

Does this mean all those courses don't count and I'm not going to graduate in April?

Also, I never received any emails or anything about filling out the grad card and paying for the ceremony. I filled it out and paid for it anyway just in case because I didn't want to miss the deadline.

They obviously have not updated most of their convocation related pages. The Grad Card for Spring 2010 convocation only became available about a week ago. You're fine.

One would think they would send an e-mail. To be honest, I can't remember if I got one or not. You may want to speak with an Academic Advisor to put your concerns to rest Re: Your Degree Audit.

I got an email from Humanities late last week (Thurs or Fri). I believe the deadline is sometime in March.

I'm doing a second degree, and my degree audit is kind of screwed up too. It says all of my past courses don't count...but...they do, because I'll be graduating (again) with Honours in the spring after two years.

I think the degree audit program just can't handle it. When I was in first and second year if you were doing a combined honours the degree audit wouldn't work...so...it seems they are slooooowly making progress.

ok thanks... all my previous courses are the exact same courses i would have taken if i signed up for the 4 years originally so hopefully it is just another stupid mugsi issue.

you also have to fill out the graduate response form (even if you're not planning on attending the ceremony).
