Degree/Certificate Posting Requirements
Undergraduate and Graduate Degrees: Application for Diploma
Students who have completed the requirements for an associate’s, bachelor’s, master’s degree or doctorate must submit a degree audit application and pay a fee for the audit and degree-posting process. Degrees will not be posted to students’ transcripts if this step is omitted. If a student applies for a diploma in a second degree or second major, the audit/posting fee is assessed again. Each time a student applies for an additional degree or major, the audit/posting fee is assessed. The degree audit application fee policy is found in the Finance section of the University catalog.
Undergraduate and Graduate Certificates: Application for Certificate
Students who have earned undergraduate or graduate certificates must initiate the audit and posting process by submitting a certificate audit application. Certificates will not be posted to students’ transcripts if this step is omitted. There is no charge to process certificates.
Financial Criteria Applicable to Both Degree and Certificate Candidates
Degrees and certificates are posted to the transcripts of students who have completed their academic requirements and have submitted a degree or certificate audit application and any applicable fee. Transcripts, diplomas and/or certificates cannot be released to any student with an outstanding obligation to CityU, however, until the student’s financial account is cleared.
Undergraduate and Graduate Participation in Commencement
Degree candidates who have submitted their Final Degree Audit Application and the applicable fee, and whose degrees have either been posted or are within ten credits of completion at the undergraduate level or six credits of completion at the graduate level, may participate in Commencement regardless of their financial standing with the University.
Certificate candidates do not participate in Commencement.
