Applying for Graduation

Attention Graduating Students!

Graduate students must adhere to the deadlines set by the Graduate School. 

All students must file an application for degree with their college.  For June applicants, the deadline to apply is February 15.  For all other quarters, students must submit their applications to the college office by the 7th calendar day of the quarter in which they hope to graduate.  For the 2007-2008 academic year, those deadlines are:

Autumn Quarter, 2007   Deadline to apply is September 25th
Winter Quarter, 2008     Deadline to apply is January 14th
Spring Quarter, 2008     Deadline to apply is February 15th
Summer Quarter, 2008  Deadline to apply is June 30th

The University confers degrees at the end of each of the four academic quarters. Commencement ceremonies are held in June for winter and spring quarter graduates and in December for summer and autumn quarter graduates.  Information regarding the ceremonies can be found at www.uc.edu/commencement. 

Undergraduate students who meet the graduation residency requirements for their colleges will qualify for graduation with Latin honors as follows:

University Grade Point Average between:

3.60 and 3.7499 Cum Laude
3.75 and 3.8999 Magna Cum Laude
3.90 and 4.0000 Summa Cum Laude

The University Grade Point Average will have no effect on the college or departmental honors for which the student may qualify.
