Students completing their degree during a summer session may participate in the preceding spring or the following winter commencement and must choose the ceremony when applying for graduation. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that the 48-credit minimum and the GPA requirements are satisfied. Students should complete the University Proficiency requirements prior to the completion of 60 credits toward graduation. Students who transfer to UW-Whitewater with 60 or more credits toward graduation should complete any remaining University Proficiency requirements within their first semester. Permanent academic records will be maintained in the Records department of the Registrar's Office.
Students share in the responsibility for the accuracy of their record.
They should carefully review each Academic Progress Report and their semester grades. The Registrar's Office should be contacted immediately if there are any errors. No changes will be made to course entries that are not appealed within two years of the posting date, and changes will not be made to a record after the degree is officially entered. There is no charge for unofficial transcripts used on campus for academic advising or for personal use. Only official transcripts are mailed.
