Students who have completed all academic work towards a degree,
or are currently enrolled in their remaining requirements, are
invited to apply for participation in graduation
ceremonies.
Students must successfully complete those remaining requirements
prior to graduation in order to participate in the ceremony. Any
student wishing to participate prior to having all requirements
completed must submit, and have approved, a
petition to participate in graduation.
Conferral Policy
The official date of graduation printed on a
student's diploma and transcript reflects the term of time in which
that student completed all required academic work. When completing
the Application for Graduation, a student must select the
graduation date in which his or her academic work is completed. A
diploma is ordered based on this information. If the student does
not complete his or her requirements by this date, a new diploma is
ordered. Graduation dates are at the end of each academic semester
as determined by the catalog.
Diplomas
Diplomas are mailed to eligible students in June and July.
For students who complete their requirements in fall or summer
semesters, their diplomas are usually available within four
weeks after the semester is complete. Since diplomas are mailed, it
is necessary for students to have correct address information on
file with the Registrar's office. Students must clear all financial
obligation with the university before they are eligible to
receive their diplomas.
Latin Honors
Graduating seniors with a cumulative GPA of 3.50 or higher
are recommended by the faculty for graduation with appropriate
academic honor as follows:
- Cum laude: 3.50-3.69
- Magna cum laude: 3.70-3.89
- Summa cum laude: 3.90-4.00
All credits taken at NCU and all transferable credits from other
colleges are computed to determine the cumulative GPA.
