  When an application to graduate is submitted, your major advisor will receive notification. This advisor will begin to collect documents related to your degree progress and make a preliminary recommendation for degree conferral. If your graduation is contingent upon completing any coursework, you must first successfully complete those requirements before a decision can be made. If there are any other outstanding items that your major advisor is aware of and has already communicated with you about, these items will also need to be completed before a preliminary recommendation for degree conferral can be made.
  
  Your major advisor is your contact for questions related to the status of your application and the completion of your degree.

  If there are requirements for your degree completion that will not be met by currently enrolled courses, and your major advisor is not already aware of these outstanding items, your application could be disapproved before the end of the semester that you have applied to graduate. A notification of that decision will be sent by UH (not CLASS) to you at your email address listed on your record.

  For the CLASS commencement ceremony, the final semester is not factored into the calculation because final semester grades are not completely posted until after the ceremony. Honors announced during the ceremony are calculated using the last 54 hours less the number of hours taken in the final semester.
  
  Once the current semester has officially closed and all grades have been posted, your honors status will be updated accordingly and will be engraved on your diploma. Undergraduate students who have completed the graduation requirements of the Honors College may graduate with special honors designations. See your advisor in the Honors College for more information.

  Undergraduate students who complete degree requirements will graduate with the stated academic honors if they achieve the following grade point averages earned in their last 54 hours (all of which must be A, B or C letter grade courses) completed at the University of Houston. Grades of S, U, I and W are not assigned grade point values and are not used in the computation of the grade point average. The honors calculation will include all hours completed in the semester in which the first of the final 54 hours was completed.

  Honors Designations:

  3.90 to 4.0 GPA Summa Cum Laude (with highest honors)
  3.70 to 3.89 GPA Magna Cum Laude (with high honors)
  3.50 to 3.69 GPA Cum Laude (with honors)

  It takes approximately 6–8 weeks from the close of the term for colleges to review graduation applications and submit their decisions to the registrar’s office for processing. Diplomas are ordered once students have been approved and degrees officially conferred and posted.

The diploma printing company also will send email notifications to you indicating when your diploma has been mailed. It’s important to keep contact information updated in myUH to avoid shipment delays.
