Degrees are conferred by the university upon recommendation of the
appropriate faculty. A student who completes degree
requirements in August or January may request a diploma in December or
April, respectively. August and January diplomas may be obtained
at the Office of the Registrar.
Diplomas are withheld if a student has a hold against his or her record.
It is the responsibility of each student to ensure that all the
graduation requirements of the college, including certification of the
major and second concentration, have been fully met well before the expected date of graduation.
For a personal academic degree audit evaluation, students should log onto Degree Navigator.
Student

degree requirements. Inquiries concerning graduation may be directed to
the Office of Academic Services.
