Degree and Requirements
A degree is a mark of recognition that you have completed a program or course of study and have reached a certain level of knowledge in a particular field. The requirements for earning your degree depend on your chosen program but generally include completing classes, writing papers and taking exams.
You must use the online application form before April 1st to start in Fall. The deadline for Spring is December 15th. #ENDWRITE
Enrollment Status & Progress
Enrollment progress refers to how much coursework you have completed toward graduation; it does not refer to your grade point average (GPA). Your official academic record at Princeton consists of your transcript, which contains all grades received in courses taken at any university or college attended by you since entering high school; your unofficial transcript displays only those grades from Princeton University courses taken while enrolled here as an undergraduate student.
