Final Grades and Degrees

Final Grades

Final grades for a term are due in the Registrar's Office on the third business day following final exam week. Grade PDF emails will be sent to students on the fourth day, and continue until all grades have been posted. Students who receive a grade of NR in a course (the instructor did not yet submit a final grade) should address this directly with the instructor; the Registrar's Office has no information on why a grade was not submitted. Once the grade is assigned, the student will receive a subsequent PDF email. The student's GPA will be recalculated once an assigned grade has been submitted.

Awarding of Degree

LMU has three degree dates throughout the year. The award dates are the Friday of final exams week. Each degree audit is reconfirmed by personnel in the Office of the Registrar and your Dean's Office, and the posting of your degree will occur in the weeks following the degree date when the process is complete. After the final review of your degree audit takes place, your degree will be awarded (AW) if all requirements for the degree are met. Your degree will be canceled (CN) if you have not completed all degree requirements. In this case, you must submit a new application for degree for the term in which all requirements show as met. If you have questions concerning the degree cancelation, please consult your Associate Dean's Office.

How can I tell if my degree has been posted to my transcript?

PROWL's "View Degree Status" will show the current status of your degree program. When the final review of your degree has been completed, the status of your program will be either:

  • Awarded (AW): if you see Awarded (AW), you may order a transcript(s) that will show the degree.
  • Canceled (CN): your transcript will not show a dgreee. You should consult your Associate Dean's office for the next steps to complete your degree requirements.
  • If you see a status of Missing Requirements (MR), your degree has not been evaluated yet.
  • The Office of the Registrar cannot offer academic advice or recommend your next actions other than to speak with your Associate Dean's Office.
  • If your degree was canceled, you must submit another application for degree in the term in which you will finish all degree requirements.
