Degree Conferral Policy
UNC confers degrees after the conclusion of the Fall, Spring, and Summer terms. The official date of conferral will be listed on official transcripts and diplomas. The conferral date is either the date of commencement (for Fall and Spring semesters) or the last day of the Summer semester. Transcripts and diplomas listing the final degree are typically available 4 to 5 weeks after the end of the term to allow time for the Office of the Registrar to verify that all degree requirements have been completed (See Semester Academic Calendar). Prior to the date final transcripts and degrees are available, a student who completes all requirements may request an official “Pending Conferral Letter” from the Office of the Registrar.
Academic records will be locked upon degree conferral. Under no circumstances will changes be made to the academic record after a degree has been conferred.
