Clearance for Graduation
Degrees are awarded on the last business day of each month. To qualify for graduation for a particular month, a student must submit the Application for Degree Form on or before the first business day of that month and must complete the examination and all other requirements (including necessary forms and fees) by the last business day of that month. Transcripts showing the award of the degree are available by request two-to-three weeks following the official date of conferral. Diplomas are issued by the Office of the Registrar and should be received in the mail four-to-six weeks following the official date of conferral.
