Completion Statements

If students need proof they have completed their degree requirements in between diploma dates, they can obtain a completion statement on their transcripts. Completion statements are not done automatically.

The completion statement appears like this on the transcript:
All requirements for the [Master of Education] degree have been completed as of [7/20/08]. The degree will be awarded [8/31/08].

To request a completion statement, students should submit a transcript request and indicate on the request that they would like a completion statement added. (For more information about ordering transcripts, transcript fees, or for the "Transcript Request" form, please reference Transcript Requests.)

Students must apply for degree finalization before requesting a completion statement. Processing time is usually 5-7 working days if all grades and academic requirements have been met, and completion statements will not be processed during the two weeks prior to a diploma date.
