Submitting this on-line application does not guarantee the conferral (granting) of a degree from DePaul University. A student can change the expected completion term up to the last day of that term. Degree requirements are reviewed at the end of the expected completion term indicated. If all requirements are met, the degree will be conferred within 30 days of the end of the term. Diplomas are mailed (to graduates without financial holds), generally within 45-60 days after the end of the term.
DePaul reports degree information to the National Student Clearinghouse monthly. Many companies and agencies use this service to verify awarded degrees. A student's degree will only be verified by the Clearinghouse if the student's Privacy Settings in Campus Connection indicate this as releasable information at the time the degree is conferred. Students should verify Privacy Settings before the end of their completion term.
6.        Academic records will be locked upon degree conferral. Under no circumstances will changes be made to the academic record after degree conferral. If the student begins a new program of study at DePaul, the student’s GPA will be restarted with the exception of Master’s students whose DePaul Master’s Degree is accepted to meet DePaul’s PhD requirements either in the same or a new field. In dual degree programs authorized by the colleges, the degrees will be conferred simultaneously.
