Coursework may be completed in UC evening classes, Distance Education, Continuing Education for Women courses, day school, summer session, or any combination of these. All UC degree programs recognize outstanding academic achievement by offering an honors option for graduating students. Other collegiate units determine academic achievement criteria for their four-year degrees. See the appropriate section of this catalog and contact the specific program for more information on honors options. Graduation Requirements Procedures for graduation with a baccalaureate degree vary by collegiate unit and program.
Some units have earlier deadlines than others for filing the graduation application.
