Procedure for Degree Candidacy
Candidates for the J.D., LL.M., and the S.J.D. degree are required to file a degree application form, which may be obtained from the Registrar of the College of Law. A $35 fee will be billed to your student account. Degree applications must be submitted to the College's Registrar, Janice Marotta, no later than the 1st week of school of the graduating semester. Graduation may occur in May, August, or December of each year. (Degree applications must be filed in August for December graduation, in January for May graduation, and in June for August graduation. Late degree applications may result in a delay in awarding of degree until the next graduation.)
Updated units and grades are recorded at the end of each semester. This information is available to the student upon request and on UAccess Student http://uaccess.arizona.edu/ .
Clearance of indebtedness to the University is required before a student will be certified for a degree. Student indebtedness records are maintained by the Accounts Receivable Section of the Business Affairs Office.
A certificate of completion of law studies is sent to the State Bar of Arizona by the Dean of the College of Law after grades have been recorded at the end of the graduating semester.
