Course Registration
MACC Program students should review registration info on Niner Central and login to Student Self Service in the MyCharlotte portal. Many courses require advisor approval, so students need to reach out to their advisor, Kaylie Etheridge, to discuss a plan of study.
Course Planning
Core courses are offered during specific semesters. Electives are available in Spring and Summer. Please note that course offerings and schedules are subject to change and not all classes will be offered each semester.
DegreeWorks is an online tool that the University uses to determine if students have met the requirements for graduation – it is your official degree audit. It should be used to view program requirements and track degree progress. To access DegreeWorks, log in to MyCharlotte and select the “gear” icon on the right-hand side of your Quick Links.
Student Life
- Schedule an appointment with our Associate Director of Graduate Student Career Development, who curates the Career and Professional Development section of Canvas and is available for consultations.

Important announcements about deadlines, targeted events, professional development opportunities and job postings also go out through this site. Please let your advisor know if you do not have access!
- The University Career Center and Hire-A-Niner portal are available for all current students and alumni.
- The Graduate School and the Center for Graduate Life & Learning offer a number of programs and resources designed to support your efforts as a graduate student, especially the Graduate Student Onboarding Portal.
Graduation & COMMENCEMENT
Graduation
Degree candidates must apply for graduation for degree awarding and are eligible to participate in the commencement ceremony for the term in which they anticipate completing all requirements.
All students intending to graduate must apply for graduation regardless of whether they intend to participate in the commencement ceremony. Students who do not apply for graduation will not have their degree(s) or certificate(s) awarded and will not receive their diploma. Students must apply by the Graduation Application deadlines listed on Niner Central. You can also check the Belk College Canvas page for additional information on graduating.
Commencement
The Graduate School confers degrees after each term (Spring, Summer and Fall). Commencement, the celebration that honors earning your degree, is held twice annually in May and December. Summer and Fall graduates participate in the December ceremonies.
