Graduation Policies

Time Limit: From start to finish, it must take students no more than six (6) years to complete their M.A. in Communication Studies, including accepted transfer credits and post-baccalaureate credit. The time frame begins from the date of the earliest course completed.

Application for Degrees must be completed online through Banner Self Service by the published deadlines or the student will have to apply for the next available graduation.

All deadlines are available on UNC Charlotte’s Academic Calendar.

Applicants will be notified via email if additional information is needed in order to be cleared for graduation.

Caps and gowns are available at the Campus Bookstore several months prior to commencement. Information about commencement is available on the campus Graduation Information website.
