An exemption from an all-University graduation requirement that is granted by the Committee on Admissions and Academic Standards becomes void at the end of two calendar years from the date such exemption is granted if all degree requirements have not been completed within that period. A second baccalaureate degree may be granted, but a student must earn a minimum of 45 credits beyond the number required for the first degree. These credits usually must be earned in residence, with the granting of exceptions to the residency rule being the responsibility of the college, school or campus awarding the degree. The student must achieve no less than a 2.0 cumulative grade-point average in the credits required for the second degree. Students working for a second baccalaureate degree are not registered in the Graduate School, but in the academic division of the University with jurisdiction over the degree sought.
Some colleges allow a baccalaureate degree with two majors.
The student's application for such a degree must show both majors and be approved by the advisers of both departments or programs. Both majors appear on the transcript. Concurrently Two baccalaureate degrees, associated with different majors, may be granted at the same time, but the total number of academic credits earned must reach a minimum of 45 credits in excess of the number required for the first baccalaureate degree. Commencement Formal commencement exercises are conducted at the close of Spring Quarter. Diploma Distribution Diplomas are available twelve weeks after the end of the quarter in which they are earned.
