5.7.1 Conferral of Degrees: Policy
1. Submitting and Withdrawing the Application to Graduate
PROCESS STEPS | RESPONSIBILITY | |
---|---|---|
1. | Complete an Application to Graduate in Axess prior to the published deadline for the quarter in which graduation is intended. The deadlines are published in the Time Schedule. A separate application must be filed for each degree program and for each conferral term. Students must be registered in the term of degree conferral. | Student |
2. | If filing a request after the quarterly deadline, contact your department student services officer or the Student Services Center for assistance. | Student |
3. | To withdraw a request for conferral or make changes to the Application to Graduate, submit a Withdrawal of Application to Graduate form. Students who withdraw their graduation applications or fail to meet degree requirements must reapply to graduate in a subsequent term. | Student |
2. Recommending Lists
PROCESS STEPS | RESPONSIBILITY | |

1. |
Near the middle of each quarter, prepare preliminary recommending lists by running the PeopleSoft “Graduation Report” to review the list and check the following:
|

2. | Resolve any questions about a student’s program of study and fulfillment of requirements. | Degree Program |
3. | Prepare final recommending lists and distribute to degree programs. | Registrar |

After the final deadline for filing applications to graduate, but prior to the deadline for submitting theses and dissertations, verify by running the PeopleSoft “STF Degree Clearance” report to that the student has:
|
Degree Program |
5. | Approve and sign the final recommending list, and deliver to the Office of the Registrar by the quarterly published deadline. This signature means that each student whose name is on the list has satisfactorily completed all requirements for the degree requested, including all required courses with a final satisfactory grade. If the list is blank, the signed list confirms that the degree program is not expecting any degree candidates for that conferral term. | Department Chair |
6. | Keep a copy of the recommending list for its records. | Degree Program |
7. |
Verify the following information for degree candidates whose names appear on the final recommending list:
