Conferring of Degrees

The Board of Trustees awards degrees only to students in good standing who have met their obligations to the University. Students who do not complete requirements for the degree by one conferral date may qualify for the next conferral date by satisfactorily completing all graduation requirements.

The Board of Trustees confers degrees three times annually: Commencement Day in May, August 24, and December 31. Candidates meeting the requirements before the conferral date and needing verification may ask for a Completion Letter from the Office of the Registrar.  Undergraduate students with questions should contact Degree Auditing at 486-2555 and Graduate students should contact the Graduate School at 486-3615.
