    • Graduate: Graduate Advisors are available for MBA and MAT programs.

The table below lists the various methods that are available for checking your progression against graduation requirements. These provide guidance when selecting courses for the following semester.

These methods can be used in combination with your unofficial transcript, which is also available to view in Self Service and the Academic Catalog, which can be found on the Rockford University website.
