Posthumous Degree or Certificate

Posthumous Degree/Certificate

On a case-by-case basis, a degree or certificate may be awarded posthumously by the Provost with the approval of the University President. Normally, the following conditions are met:

  • The deceased student had successfully completed a minimum of 75% of the total credits required for the degree or certificate (or both) for which the student had matriculated, as determined by the dean of the college or school in which the student was enrolled; and
  • The student was in good academic and disciplinary standing.
