Students
enrolled at least part-time (4.0 units) each term may expect
to complete the degree within approximately 2 1/2 to 3 years.
Please note that the Master's Degree diploma makes no reference
to "External Degree" or "correspondence,"
and HUX courses are differentiated on transcript records only
as "HUX" instead of "HUM."
Application
for Graduation
It is the student's responsibility to obtain and file a Graduation Application,
along with the required fee, when the student enrolls in HUX 598. List the trimester after the anticipated enrollment in HUX 599 as the likely
graduation date. The form should be sent directly to the HUX Office along with the required $35 fee, payable by either check or money order
(no credit card payments can be accepted for this fee).
If all degree requirements are not completed during the anticipated trimester of graduation, the student must file a Change of Graduation Date form, along with a required $10 fee, to move the graduation date forward. These also should be sent directly to the HUX Office.
All graduating HUX students are eligible and welcome to attend the Commencement ceremony, held each year in late May. Please let the
HUX Office know if you plan to attend.
