505.4 Posthumous Degrees

October 16, 2017 by benb

Posthumous degrees may be awarded according to regular procedures established by each campus, provided the deceased was nearing completion of degree requirements, had a cumulative grade point equal to or greater than that required for graduation, and has the recommendation of his/her school or college faculty.

Students who were enrolled in a degree program and were actively pursuing and making progress towards a degree at the time of death, but were not yet nearing completion of degree requirements, may be awarded an honorary posthumous degree.

To be eligible for a posthumous degree, or an honorary posthumous degree, a deceased student must not have been dismissed or suspended at the time of death, and must not have died in connection with committing a crime or similar serious misconduct incompatible with conferral of a degree from the University.
