Graduation Amendment is a mechanism to confer a degree upon a student after the conferral deadline has passed for the graduation term. In rare cases, a situation arises when the University has become aware that a student completed the degree requirements, but the degree has not been recorded on the transcript. The chart below describes five cases which require retroactive awarding of the student’s degree.
Case | Description | Diploma date |
|---|---|---|
Cross-term enrollment | A student enrolled in the final course, but it spans two terms. | The term in which the course was completed. |
Incomplete completion | A student completed the Incomplete requirements in another term. | The last term of enrollment at Temple. |
Never applied | A student never applied for graduation. | The last term of enrollment at Temple. |
Transfer credits not evaluated | A student submits transfer credits for evaluation, but not evaluated prior to diploma date. | The last term of enrollment at Temple. |
Final requirements taken at another institution | A student enrolls with permission at another institution to satisfy degree requirement after completing all other coursework at Temple. | The last term of enrollment at the host institution equivalent to a Temple term (fall, spring, summer I, summer II). |
Exceptions will be handled on a case by case basis.
Graduation liaisons in each school or college may submit a Graduation Amendment petition to the Office of the University Registrar.
Office of the University Registrar will review the documents and follow-up if additional information is required to complete the request.
