Posting of Degrees
It takes some time for your degree to be posted and to appear on your student record after your date of graduation. The amount of time is variable due to final grading deadlines and reviews for completion by school/college degree clearance staff. Most degrees will be posted within a couple of weeks following the conferral date. Some degrees will take longer to clear for reasons like missing grades or complexity of the review by schools/colleges.
Once your degree is posted, you’ll see it listed in the Student Center’s View My Degrees tab and toward the top of your unofficial and official transcript.
Undergraduate additional majors and certificates will be posted to student records a couple of weeks after a degree is posted.
Once a degree is officially awarded, the university does not rescind it except in rare circumstances involving academic misconduct, fraud, or formal student conduct outcomes. A conferred degree affirms that academic requirements were satisfied at the time of award and represents a permanent academic action of the university. Because degree conferral carries legal, academic, and financial implications, it cannot be reversed based on a change in personal or educational plans.
