All students in the MET. program are subject to the Wilson College Honor Principle, academic and administrative regulations and the Wilson College judicial process.

Students must complete and submit a graduation application to the registrar two semesters before the anticipated graduation date. A fee will be assessed for late applications. Students who fail to officially submit a graduation application will not be eligible for graduation.
