UAA issues diplomas three times a year; in January after the fall semester, in May after the spring semester, and in September after the summer session.
Application for Graduation deadlines are July 1 for summer graduation, November 1 for fall graduation and March 1 for spring graduation.
If the student meets all requirements by the end of the semester, the certificate or degree is awarded after completion of the semester. Students are held responsible for meeting all academic regulations and degree/certificate requirements.
Occupational endorsement certificates are awarded by the offering academic unit, rather than at commencement. Students should check with their advisors to determine what arrangements are followed.
Names of students receiving undergraduate certificates and degrees appear in the commencement program in the spring and are released to the media unless a directory hold has been placed on the student account.
Students who apply for graduation and who do not complete their degree/certificate requirements by the end of the semester in which they have been approved to graduate, but are within six credits of completion, will have their application request changed to the following semester by the Office of the Registrar. This courtesy change will be granted one time. Students with more than 6 outstanding credits of requirements remaining, or who have 6 credits or fewer remaining for a second semester, must reapply for graduation and pay another application fee.
