The authorization form is a checklist of items students must complete to clear from the school. Each student should return his or her form to the GPA, who will then inform the student when to pick up the closeout form from Duke Dahlin in the Business Office.
Each student must have completed the checkout process prior to commencement in order to receive a diploma at commencement.
