Other Notes
Background: The intent of this policy is to standardize degree conferment dates based on acade- mic events rather than date of the last term attended. This is to better serve students at the uni- versity who do not follow the standard path to graduation, such as returning students or students who did not apply to graduation at the appropriate time.
