The policy/procedure concerning the awarding of posthumous Certificates of Achievement for undergraduate and graduate students is as follows:
- At the time of death, the student must be enrolled in classes leading to a degree, must have at least a 2.0 GPA for an undergraduate student or a 3.0 GPA for a graduate student, and must have earned at least 90 semester hours of academic credit for an undergraduate student or 21 semester hours of academic credit for a graduate student.
- The process of granting the certificate will begin when the Office of the Registrar is notified of the student’s death.
- The family will be mailed a copy of the certificate along with a letter of condolence from the President.
Please note that the refund of monies for enrollment in classes is covered by the University System of Georgia Board of Regents “Refund Policy” as outlined in the undergraduate and graduate catalogs.
