What happens after Commencement?
Following commencement and after all grades are posted, the colleges begin the task of clearing students for graduation.  This means the college reviews final grades to determine that all degree requirements have been met and notifies the Registrar's Office when the degree can be awarded. Once cleared by the college, the Registrar's Office posts the degree to the transcript and mails out the diploma.  This process is ongoing for 30 days past commencement.

To verify that your degree has been awarded, graduates should follow instructions for viewing your unofficial transcript online.

Honors
The actual honors awarded at the time a degree is posted is based on the final cumulative GPA. The diploma will show the honors awarded with the degree.  If honors changed as a result of final grades received, the diploma is reordered. This may cause a delay in the receipt of the diploma.
