Degree Conferral
Although a student may have completed all degree program requirements, graduation
is not automatic. Students who are ready to graduate must apply for Degree Conferral
with the Office of the University Registrar in order to identify the semester in which
they expect to complete their degree requirements. Undergraduate students must have
90 completed credits to apply for degree conferral.
View Instructions for submitting the degree conferral application.
The Office of the University Registrar will assess the candidates' eligibility for
degree conferral. The official conferral date will be the end of the semester in which
all degree requirements have been met. Candidates for degree conferral must submit
their application to the Office of the University Registrar by the deadline on their
conferral date.
It is the responsibility of the student to ensure all degree requirements have been
satisfied as shown on the program evaluation available in StudentCenter.Chapman.edu prior to the graduation date listed below, including all transfer work, for the diploma
to be awarded. Undergraduate students with questions regarding requirement completion
should contact the Academic Advising Center for a graduation review. Graduate students
should contact their department advisor for questions regarding graduation requirements.
Students are notified by the Registrar's Office through their Chapman email when their
degree is awarded.
