Graduation Requirements
Undergraduate students all share certain general requirements for earning the baccalaureate degree (B.A., B.Mus., B.S.N., and B.S.). These include the following:
- Satisfactory completion of 128 semester units (numbered 100 and above).
- Satisfactory completion of the General Education Program.
- Completion of an approved program of study in a major area.
- Maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.000.
- Maintain a major GPA of 2.000 (unless otherwise stipulated).
- Residency at Point Loma during the final 24 units of study.
- Completion of all academic and institutional requirements.
To be eligible for graduation, an application for graduation needs to be filed in the Office of Records the semester before a student plans to graduate. To participate in the Spring Commencement ceremonies, the application and grad check appointment must be completed by the second week of February.
Diplomas are mailed to students approximately 8-10 weeks after their degree has been posted. Students will be asked to complete mailing requests for diplomas when returning their caps and gowns after commencement. If you were unable to submit a mailing request at that time or if your address has changed, please fill out and send a Diploma Mailing Request to the Records Office. If you have misplaced or lost your diploma, you may purchase a facsimile from the Alumni Office. |
