Before submitting a degree sign-off request form, please ensure the following requirements are met:
University degrees are conferred by the Registrar's Office at the end of each academic semester four times a year, with the official conferral date corresponding to the last date of the semester/term (Fall, Spring, May, and Summer). Degrees are conferred on the first official conferral date after degree requirements (required coursework, non-coursework, and necessary supporting documents) are completed.
Degree sign-off requests are accepted up to two weeks after the last day of the semester. Requests for degree sign-off received after that time will be deferred until the following conferral date.
There is no set deadline by which to apply for the PPS credential, but candidates are encouraged to apply for their credential upon completion of the PPS credential requirements.
In order to be accepted by the Registrar's Office, degree sign-off requests must be submitted within two weeks from the conferral dates listed above. Candidates who meet the requirements for the PPS School Counseling Credential will follow the application process via the Pathway to Credentialing page.
