Earning a degree takes grit. At Nebraska, juniors will take their first steps toward experiencing the glory of graduating with a degree by completing Senior Kickoff.

Senior Kickoff is designed to help juniors understand graduation requirements earlier and ensure there is a plan to satisfy all remaining graduation requirements during senior year.

Juniors who plan to be seniors next semester should log into MyRED to complete Senior Kickoff.

Juniors who complete Senior Kickoff in MyRED by noon on March 15 will receive a better priority registration appointment. With an earlier enrollment appointment, juniors will be eligible to enroll before many peers, giving them a better chance to enroll in required classes that fill up quickly.

Juniors can find their Senior Kickoff plan in the To-Do list in the MyRED Message Center:

1. Run a current degree audit — The degree audit is a document outlining undergraduate academic progress. This document uses Nebraska coursework, transfer coursework and courses in progress to determine progress toward degree completion.
2. Senior Kickoff survey — The survey collects information about current graduation plans and additional credit information including any transfer and study abroad credits.
3. Meet with your advisor — The final step is to work with an advisor and plan the path to graduation.
