What if the name on my diploma is incorrect?
Students must have the correct name on their records by the end of their graduating term to ensure that their name is printed correctly. If you find that your name is incorrect on the diploma you receive, you will need to reach out to the Graduation Office to have this fixed.
What if the Latin honors on my diploma are incorrect?
Graduates will need to reach out to the Graduation Office to verify the honors that are printed on the diploma.
Where is my minor?
Minors are never printed on students' diplomas; however, minors will appear on the official transcript. Transcripts are the legal documentation to show the degree that has been earned. You can order your official transcript through the Records Office.
Make sure that you are meeting the graduation requirements.
When will my degree officially be awarded?
Degrees are awarded to those who applied to graduate and have met the graduation requirements beginning two weeks after the term ends. Graduates can check on their degree status through myUVU by going to Registration & Academics >Degree Information. Once the degree has been awarded there will be a note stating "Degree awarded for (term awarded)."
What if I don't complete my graduation requirements? Can I still walk?
Participation in the graduation ceremonies does not guarantee completion or awarding of degrees. Graduates walking in the ceremonies who do not complete their graduation requirements will need to submit a new graduation application in order to receive their degree. We do not recommend walking until you know that you will be completing all of your degree requirements.
