The university confers degrees six times each year, regardless of the specific date on which final work is completed. All degree requirements must be met prior to the conferral date; processing will be complete within four weeks of receiving the final grade. The degree conferral dates are at the end of each session, approximately early March, late April, late June, late August, late October, and late December. If all financial obligations to the university are met and an Intent to Graduate form has been submitted, diplomas will be delivered to the student's address on file in approximately 8-10 weeks.
