Degrees Conferred
Degrees for completed programs are conferred on the last day of the month in which the term ends (see Application Deadlines). Applicants for degree conferral must plan to complete their program requirements by the end of the term for which they applied. If degree requirements cannot be completed, a new application for a subsequent term must be submitted, along with applicable fees and deadlines.
Steps to Apply for Degree Conferral
- Review your Program Evaluation in Campus Solutions to determine your expected date of graduation.
- If the program listed on your Program Evaluation is not the program you intend to complete, request to have your program changed officially by submitting a Change of Major/Minor/Emphasis form to the Registrar's Office.

All correspondence and subsequent notices on the status of your application will be sent to your Chapman e-mail address.
