Degree Conferral Process: Summary of Student Responsibilities<\/h3>\n

*Keep track of degree requirements by checking your Degree Audit<\/a> in Populi. Degree audits show course groupings required for each degree program. Click ALL in each grouping to show both completed and not completed courses needed to meet requirements for that course grouping.<\/p>\n

*Make an appointment with your advisor prior to registration for your final term to ensure that you will be meeting all of your degree requirements.<\/p>\n

*At the beginning of the term in which you are applying for degree conferral, complete and submit the Application to Receive a Degree<\/a>. This Application can also be found at Student Forms<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Transcripts, Diplomas, Degree Conferral, and Commencement<\/h1><\/div>

Transcripts and Diplomas<\/h3>\n

A degree is a credential. There are two documents that provide evidence of that credential: an official transcript and a diploma. Both are available to students who have completed all degree requirements, received degree conferrals, settled all financial obligations, and returned all library materials.<\/p>\n

Official transcripts may be requested by alumni at any time by emailing the registrar or via Contact the Registrar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Diplomas are printed once per year, typically in the fall after all conferral dates have been finalized from the previous Academic Year (Fall, Spring, Summer).<\/p>\n

Degree Conferral<\/h3>\n

Degree conferral is the official process used to grant a degree. During the final term, upon receipt of the Application to Receive a Degree<\/a>, the registrar works with the student\u2019s advisor to ensure that all degree requirements have been met or are in-progress for being met by the end of the term. Once grades are finalized and all degree program requirements have been met, the registrar grants the degree and posts the degree conferral date to the official trasncript.<\/p>\n

The degree conferral date<\/strong> is the date that will appear on transcripts and diplomas. Maitripa College has three degree-conferral dates per year, one each term.<\/p>\n
