Degree Awarded Notation on Official Transcripts
Once all degree requirements are met, the degree information is displayed on official transcripts. For undergraduate degrees, degree information is displayed on official transcripts within one week of final grades posting. For graduate degrees, degree awarding begins the Wednesday after the term ends and may take up to four weeks to be completed.
Before requesting your official transcripts, view your unofficial transcript in myPSU to make sure your final grades and degree are posted. You may also choose "Hold for Degree" on your official transcript request so your transcripts will be sent after your degree is awarded.
