Student Graduation Approval Query

As a graduating student, you can view the status of your graduation record on MINERVA during the Faculty review and approval process (go to Student Records > Graduation Approval Query) once it opens.听听NOTE: If you check your Minerva Graduation Approval Query prior to the date it opens, you will receive a message stating that your record is not active 鈥� this is no reason for concern as long as your unofficial Minerva transcript displays the correct term of graduation (top-right hand side).

The Graduation Approval process is a three-step one. Your Departmental Advisors will review your record for the completion of your program requirements, and an SAO Faculty Advisor in MESC will review your record for the completion of your degree requirements. You will be contacted via your 看片视频 email account during the graduation review period, should any problems arise. Please check your 看片视频 email regularly during this period to avoid a delay in your graduation. Once your departmental and faculty graduation requirements have been met and final grades successfully completed in your last term, the graduation module on MINERVA will be updated to indicate "Approved". Your MINERVA transcript will then be updated to indicate that your degree has been awarded, however only after the university's Senate Committee has approved the list of graduating students. You will receive your diploma at the convocation ceremony that corresponds to your term of graduation.

If you have met all requirements for graduation, please note your Graduation Approval status will remain 鈥淧ending鈥� until Senate meets to approve degrees, and your student record on MINERVA will display the Degree Granted notation at the appropriate time:
