Undergraduate Degree Conferral
Once all undergraduate degree requirements for the intended graduation term are completed, a graduation advisor will evaluate the student’s record. Upon verification that all requirements are satisfied, the degree is conferred and the official graduation date is posted to the SDSU transcript.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can a student complete a second undergraduate major after graduating?
- No, students cannot complete a second major after completing their bachelor’s degree. Students may apply for a second bachelor’s degree in Nursing after their original degree is awarded.
- Can a student complete a minor after graduating?
- No. If a student wishes to earn a minor—or if a minor is required by their major—all requirements for both the major and minor must be completed by the graduation date for which the student applied.
- Can a student register for classes after graduating?
- Once a student has graduated, they may only register for classes if admitted to SDSU as a graduate student, or by enrolling in courses through Global Campus.
- Is a degree evaluation available after a student has graduated?
- No. Degree evaluations are only accessible to current undergraduate students. Students are encouraged to print a copy of their degree evaluation during their final semester for future reference.
- Does SDSU round up the GPA to meet minimum requirements for honors, the Dean’s List, or distinction?
- No. SDSU reports Grade Point Averages (GPAs) to the second decimal place, and no rounding is applied. Honors and distinctions are based strictly on the GPA earned.
