Information You Should Know
Your individual degree audit available on GROWL,
will give you a comprehensive overview of your graduation
status. Review this information carefully and report any
necessary corrections immediately to your academic advisor.
You are responsible for knowing all graduation requirements and for
completing them by the appropriate deadlines.
Remember...
The information required to process your degree comes
from the application for graduation that you must file
to graduate. Examine it carefully - all information
is assumed to be correct unless you specify otherwise.
The name on your graduation application must be the same
as your official name on file with the Registrar's Office.
*If you have had a change of name and your record needs
to be updated, forms are available at the Registrar's Office.
To have your minor noted on your record you must:
Have an approved minor petition form on file listing courses
used for completion of the minor;
Verify with the minor department that any changes to your
original petition have been reported to the Student Academic
Affairs Office;
A 2.0 GPA is required in upper-division courses within
the minor.
Your degree depends upon completion of any work in progress.
During your quarter of graduation immediately report
to your advisor any changes made to your schedule after
the third week of instruction.
Incomplete, IE, IP or GD grades on your transcript will
stop the processing of your degree. Be sure to clear these
grades before the end of the quarter you are graduating
and keep the Student Academic Affairs Office aware of your
progress.
If coursework is taken at another institution(s) (including
work taken at UCR Extension):
Note the institution, course(s), and term(s) on your application
for graduation
Check on residency requirements
Have an official transcript sent by the noted deadline
in the Schedule of Classes to: Undergraduate
Admissions, University of California 1138 Hinderaker Hall,
Riverside, CA 92521
All coursework, whether taken at UCR or elsewhere, must
be completed by the last day of UCR's finals week during
the quarter of graduation (no GD's or Incomplete grades).
Your overall and upper-division major grade-point
average must be at least a 2.0. (NOTE: If
you are repeating any course in which you received a "D" grade,
your units toward graduation will need to be recalculated.)
You must have a minimum of 180 units, including a minimum
of 36 upper division units in your major for the B.A. degree.
The B.S. degree requires a minimum of 40 upper division
units.
If you discover you will not be graduating in your planned
quarter, notify the Student Academic Affairs Office
immediately. File a new application for graduation
form for the new quarter of graduation by the appropriate
deadline.
Should you fail to meet the graduation requirements by
the end of the quarter in which you intend to graduate,
you must re-file a new application for graduation for your
new quarter of graduation.
Eligibility to "Walk" in
Commencement Ceremonies
You are eligible to participate in the ceremonies once
you have completed all degree requirements. All requirements
for the bachelor's degree must be completed at the end
of Spring quarter or prior to Spring.
Students graduating in the summer must wait to participate
in the ceremony the next year.
The only exception will be for students who have only
8 units or less of course work remaining at the end of
Spring quarter.
The remaining course work must be taken in the summer
immediately following spring quarter.
Those students will be required to file a petition with
a recommendation from their advisor for the Associate Dean's
review. They must provide proof of enrollment in summer
courses (i.e. enrollment fee receipt) when they file the
petition.
Contact your major department to confirm your term of
graduation is correct in the student information system.
Apply for graduation by the deadline for the quarter in
which you plan to actually complete all degree requirements.
Graduation does not occur until all requirements have been
completed.
Standard for the Award of Honors at Graduation
As passed by the Academic Senate (June 1977), these categories were based on the Spring 2007 graduating class--the highest 2% receiving Highest Honors, the next 4% receiving High Honors, and the next 10% receiving Honors.
The grade point averages which mark the cutoff points for each honors category for the June graduating class shall be used as minimum criteria for the award of the same categories of honors to students in the Summer, Fall, and Winter graduating classes which follow.
Recognition of honors at the Commencement Exercises for spring and summer graduation candidates are based on unverified data. The official determination (for transcript and diploma purposes) will be based upon the calculated grade point averages of the actual spring graduates.
Honors at graduation for students graduating Spring 2007 through Winter 2008 will be based on the following grade point average cutoffs. Only those students who have passed 60 or more UC units with letter grades will be considered.
| HIGHEST HONORS |
3.895 |
| HIGH HONORS |
3.742 |
| HONORS |
3.498 |
Receipt of Diploma…
There is a three-month processing period before your
diploma is issued. To assure prompt delivery, make sure
the Office of the Registrar has an accurate address on
file. If you need graduation verification, you may request
to have a copy of your transcript sent as soon as your
degree has been posted by the Office of the Registrar.
The fee for diploma mailing is $3.50 (within the U.S.)
and a signed authorization is needed before degrees are
mailed.
