It is a student’s responsibility to understand and complete all requirements associated with the degree they are seeking. Students should continuously review their Degree Works information and meet with their advisor consistently to identify fulfilled and unfulfilled requirements. Students who apply for graduation will go through a final degree audit at the end of the term to ensure they have met all the requirements to graduate from UNCG. Undergraduate Degree Clearance audits are conducted within the University Registrar’s Office (process documented below). Graduate Degree Clearance is handled by the Graduate School; additional information on Graduate Degree Clearance can be found on the Graduate School site.
Final Audit
At the end of the term, the degree clearance team will conduct a final audit of each student’s graduation application. The student’s application for graduation will either be approved or denied based on final coursework for the term. Students will receive a message to their UNCG email address with one of two statuses.
- Graduated (GR) – The final audit shows the student’s degree requirements have been met and their file has been updated accordingly. The student has officially received their UNCG degree.
- Removed (RM) – The final audit of the student’s file indicated that their degree requirements are insufficient.
Students who do not successfully complete all degree requirements within the application term should contact Degree Clearance (graduate@uncg.edu) as soon as possible to discuss next steps. Students who are still missing requirements at the end of the semester and do not contact Degree Clearance to have their application moved to a later term will have their application removed and they will need to reapply for a future term. Please see associated fees with this process on the “Apply for Graduation” page.
