Financial Obligations
In addition to diplomas being withheld for candidates who do not pass the final degree audit, diplomas are also withheld from graduates who have failed to settle all financial obligations with the University in accordance with University and State rules. Students may review their account balance online to determine if there are any unsettled obligations that may prevent receiving their diplomas.
SBS Clearance for Graduation
Prior to graduating, students should check their account in Howdy for any outstanding balances. After searching and selecting My Tuition/Fees Details:
- Search Payment/Refund to view your student account balance.

All student and sponsor account balances and past due or currently due loans must be paid in full in order to receive your diploma. Students graduating and unable to pay the full balance should contact Student Business Services.
