Degree Posting

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 2023

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

Spring 2024

  •  16-Week, 8-Week 1, and 8-Week 2 Sessions (May 4)

Summer 2024

  • 8-Week 1 Session (June 29)
  • 12-Week Session (July 27)
  • 16-Week and 8-Week 2 Sessions (August 24)

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 1st or 15th 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 It can be rescinded only in the case of substantiated error or fraud.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.
