Inappropriate Degree Usage

Return to: Policies and Regulations  

A student should not refer to himself or herself as having earned a specific degree until all degree requirements have been successfully completed, all requirements for graduation have been met (including submission of the degree approval form to the Office of the Registrar) and the official date of graduation for a particular term has been reached. A student who disregards this policy will be referred to the committee that addresses professional ethics violations for that student’s program or college.
