Graduation Requirements

In addition to the completion of all course requirements for the Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering program, it is necessary to achieve the following academic averages:

  1. Minimum 2.0 GPA for all coursework taken at UB and overall (includes transfer).
  2. Minimum 2.0 GPA for all engineering courses taken at UB.
Application for Degree Card

In order to be considered for graduation (degree conferral), each student must file an "Application for Degree" with the Student Response Center prior to the deadlines below. Applications are available in 410 Bonner Hall, online, or in the Student Response Center (232 Capen Hall).

Students are encouraged to see an advisor in 410 Bonner Hall to verify remaining requirements and then file their Application for Degree prior to the start of their final semester. When a degree is conferred, it is noted on the student's academic record (official transcript and on MyUB) and a diploma is mailed to the address on the Degree Application submitted by the student. Students who find that they are not eligible to graduate on their applied degree conferral date will be requested to inform the Student Response Center of their new expected graduation date.
