Degree Application Deadlines

Candidates for undergraduate degrees and certificates must submit an online   Application for Undergraduate Degree.

If you fail to apply by the dates listed below, you may not be able to graduate until the following term.

Students with Financial Obligations

The following is taken from the academic and administrative policy "Withholding Degrees from Students with Financial Obligations:"

"The University of Minnesota does not post degrees for students, on any campus, with financial obligations equal to, or in excess of, $100. This includes all retroactively conferred degrees. Once a student satisfies his or her financial obligation, the degree will be posted using the original date the degree would have been conferred."
