When your Degree and Diploma Application (DDA) is being processed after grades are finalized for the quarter, Revelle Advising will update your degree audit. If you anticipate that your visa status may change before your graduation documents are conferred, please reach out to Revelle Advising for guidance, or plan on one of the other ways to satisfy the AH&I requirement.
