Welcome
The SPH Academic Programs Office (APO) serves all students by helping them to fulfill the requirements of their Degree Compliance Reports (DCR) and graduate on time. We assist students in developing a curriculum plan based on their academic status (full or part time). After students meet with their academic advisors, APO ensures that forms are completed so students complete their degree's within the policy timeframe (max. 5 years for masters and 7 years for doctoral degrees) and receive their diplomas.
