Degrees will be officially awarded in our system within 24 to 48 business hours of the specified conferral date. There is the possibility of a delay in the review of your application if grades have not been posted or if UMGC is awaiting additional documentation in relation to a program requirement. You will be notified via e-mail once your degree has been conferred. If you would like to check the status of your application, you can visit Graduation in MyUMGC.
