(PROOF OF GRADUATION)
IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY ENROLLED AT UC BERKELEY OR ELSEWHERE, A CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION CANNOT BE
ISSUED. YOU MAY REQUEST A LETTER OF INTENT INSTEAD.
A Certificate of Completion is an official document prepared by the Office of the Registrar certifying that a student has completed all
degree requirements, and stating the student’s official degree date.
Ordinarily, students should wait for their degree to be officially posted to their transcripts (approximately two months after the official
degree date) for the degree certification. However, in cases where an employer or graduate school requires degree certification prior
to posting of the degree to the transcript, a student may request a Certificate of Completion.
A Certificate of Completion can only be issued after all final grades are posted to a student’s UC Berkeley transcript. If a student is
completing work at another institution, the certificate cannot be issued until that work is posted on the UCB transcript.
Students on the summer degree list who are attending a summer session at UC Berkeley cannot be issued a certificate until the
summer session grades are posted. These grades are not posted until a few weeks after the end of the entire summer term, regardless
of which session the student was enrolled in.
A Certificate of Completion will only be issued if ALL criteria below are met:
____ I have attached a memo(s) from my major department(s) indicating that I have completed my major(s).
____ I have completed all courses required for the B.A. degree.
____ Grades for all required UC Berkeley courses have been posted to my UCB transcript (check transcript
using BearFacts to confirm).
____ Any required coursework taken outside UC Berkeley has been posted to my UCB transcript (check
BearFacts).
____ I have attached a check made payable to "UC Regents" for the appropriate number of certificates
requested.
