What if my current program will not be complete prior to the start of classes? Incoming students whose current programs will not be finished by the start of classes must request a deferral to a future enrollment term. Students cannot start classes without meeting the requirement of having completed a bachelor’s degree. If the program you are currently enrolled in will have all coursework completed prior to the start of classes, but the processing time for degree verification will take place into the start of the autumn quarter, you should communicate that via the official transcript form and provide a provisional degree certification to prior to the start of classes.
