Degree Verification and Transcripts

You have to fill out your Application for Graduation in order to graduate and receive your diploma. Pick up your Application for Graduation in your academic advising office. Your diploma is printed after all degree clearances are completed. Academic Records then mails the diplomas to the address you indicate on your Application for Graduation. If your address changes, notify the Office of Academic Records, 1000 Asp, Room 330, Norman, OK 73019 or call (405) 325-2017.

Final Degree Verification. The final degree verification occurs after the grades for a semester are posted. When the degree candidate's transcript is complete and all requirements have been fulfilled, the college advising office sends a degree clearance to the Office of Academic Records. The Office of Academic Records then verifies that the student has paid all enrollment fees and tuition. Then and only then will the Office of Academic Records post the final degree(s) earned on the transcript, print a diploma, and list the student on the Official Graduation List.

Graduation Date. The official graduation date appearing on diplomas and transcripts is the last day of examinations in the Fall, the date of Commencement in the Spring, and the last day of classes in the Summer. This date appears on the student's permanent academic record.

Transcript. While many students never bother to see their final official transcript, we recommend that you obtain a copy for your files. Official transcripts are released by the Office of Academic Records upon written request of the student, except when a student has a financial indebtedness to the University. Your final official transcript, with your degree posted, should be available approximately one month after your official graduation date.
