The university posts degrees to students’ permanent records five times each year according to a predetermined schedule. All degree requirements, including milestones that vary based on program, must be met prior to the posting date. The posting dates for students are at the end of each 16-week session (fall, spring, and summer) and at the end of the 8-week 1 and 12-week summer sessions. The regular terms and sessions for students, with approximate posting dates shown in parentheses, are:

Fall 2024

• 16-Week, 8-Week 1, and 8-Week 2 Sessions (December 14)

Spring 2025

•  16-Week, 8-Week 1, and 8-Week 2 Sessions (May 3)

Summer 2025

• 8-Week 1 Session (June 28)
• 12-Week Session (July 26)
• 16-Week and 8-Week 2 Sessions (August 23)

For degrees completed on dates other than these, the degree posting will occur on the next scheduled posting date. Completed degrees may be posted on the 1^st or 15^th of a month other than those listed above in this section. 

Transcripts with the posted degree are available approximately four weeks after all grades have been entered and all degree requirements have been met. Degree posting begins on the Monday after the degree date and concludes when all degrees are posted.

Once the degree is posted, the degree record is complete and final. It can be rescinded only in the case of substantiated error or fraud. A student cannot add coursework to or remove coursework from the posted degree to improve grade-point average or to add concentrations or emphases, and cannot request a degree title change.
