You must contact your community college to send an official transcript to the UC San Diego Admissions Office as soon as possible. Your Academic History will display your transferred courses once your transfer courses have been received by the UC San Diego Admissions Office and posted to your UC San Diego records. Please continue to check your Academic History for that information.
UC San Diego Academic Senate has established this standard for award of College Honors at graduation:
No more than 14 percent of the graduating seniors on campus shall be eligible for college Honors. Normally, no more than the top 2 percent shall be eligible for summa cum laude and no more than the next 4 percent for magna cum laude, although minor variations from year to year shall be permitted. The remaining 8 percent are eligible for cum laude. The ranking of students for eligibility for college Honors shall be based upon the grade point average. In addition, to be eligible for Honors, a student must receive letter grades for at least 72 graded units of course work at the University of California. Each college may award Honors at graduation only to those who are eligible to receive college Honors.

Your minor must be officially declared prior to degree conferral. You may file your DDA prior to the final processing of your minor, but it is your responsibility to ensure that the minor is officially added to your record prior to degree conferral. If your minor is in process, check frequently to be sure it comes up on Tritonlink. If you do not see it in a reasonable amount of time, check with the department. If you have not submitted your minor yet, now is the time to do that. Contact Revelle Advising when your minor is posted so your DDA can be updated.
Note: Minors Do Not appear on the diploma, but will be listed on the transcript.
If after filing the DDA you find that you made a mistake OR you realize you are not able to complete your degree in the quarter you declared, message Revelle Advising through the
Virtual Advising Center to request for your DDA to be retracted.
Once grades are finalized for the quarter, the Major Department reviews the records of students who applied to graduate in that quarter. If the student has completed all requirements for the major, the Major Department signs off on the student's records and then the College reviews the student's records to make sure the student has completed all GE requirements and University requirements. If the student has completed those requirements, the College signs off on the student's records and sends them to the Registrar's office. The Registrar then finalizes (confers) the student's records, prints the diploma, and mails the diploma to the student's Permanent Address on Tritonlink.
Due to the volume of students, it usually takes 30-90 days from the time grades are finalized for the degree to be conferred. Diplomas are typically available 3-6 months after the end of the quarter in which the student graduates.
