[Oacrao-l] Question on Degree Conferrals/Dates

[Renee Roach]

Kristie:

Please see our answers below:


1.       We confer degrees 3 times per year:  December, May and July

2.       We do not confer more than once per term

3.       We do not graduate students mid-semester, but we do have issues with NSC degree reporting regardless of when we report; the process does seem to be improving with each semester

Thanks and have a great weekend, all!

Subject: [Oacrao-l] Question on Degree Conferrals/Dates

Hello All,

I am seeking information on when everyone confers degrees for students completing course requirements in block terms.   Right now, Southeastern confers degrees three times a year:  December, May, and August.   This is with one official graduation/degree date for each term-even if the student completed requirements in the first half of the "parent" term and/or were conferred late for the term.  Since we offer two block terms within a traditional 16 week "parent" term, we are being asked to consider conferring degrees at the end of the first 8-week block and again at the end of the traditional term.   Since we've never done things that way before, I wanted to see what everyone else is doing.

My questions are:

  1.  How many times do you confer degrees per semester/year?
  2.  If more than once a term, how many times per semester?
  3.  Do you have issues with NSC enrollment/degree reporting if you graduate students at multiple times in a semester?

Any comments/suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks,
Kristie
