For NSU, we use the day after the term ends for Fall and Spring. For summer conferral, we use the last day of classes. I am not sure the rationale behind those dates if there is any, but that's how it was established when I came in 3 years ago.
Hope that helps!

Colleagues,

I'm curious how other institutions determine their degree conferral dates.

I have been at OCU for 30 years, and historically our conferral date matched the commencement ceremony date. When we stopped holding separate summer and fall commencement ceremonies, we began using the last day of classes as the conferral date for those terms.

For some reason, I'm now questioning whether that's the best approach.

How does your institution determine the conferral date?

  *   Is it tied to the commencement ceremony?
  *   The last day of classes?
  *   The end of the term?
  *   The date degrees are officially awarded following final audits?
  *   Something else?

I'd appreciate hearing how your institution handles this and the reasoning behind your practice.

Thanks,
