The faculty of MUM determine whether students are qualified to graduate. Qualifications are based on the following factors: satisfactory completion of all academic requirements as described in the certificate or degree requirements listed below, the specific requirements for the student’s major or program, and success in meeting the University’s standards of holistic student development.

At least three days before graduation, students’ records must be complete with the Registrar and indicate the following: all academic requirements for their degree program have been satisfied, final grades are on file, all fees and charges incurred have been paid, and an Application for Graduation was submitted at least 90 days prior to graduation.

Among the requirements that must be completed before graduation is the undergraduate assessment program administered by the Office of Evaluation.

Students whose academic records are not complete by three days before the graduation ceremony are ineligible to participate in the ceremony or receive their degrees. They must reapply for the next graduation. Degrees are awarded twice a year, at the end of each semester. One graduation ceremony is held each year, at the end of the spring semester.

General and core curriculum graduation requirements for each student are determined by the Catalog in effect when they begin studying at the University. Major and minor requirements are determined from the Catalog in effect when the student begins their major or minor. Please contact your graduation advisor in the Enrollment Center if you have any questions about graduation requirements.
