Posthumous Degree Policy
Applies to: Pittsburg State University students.
Policy:
A deceased student may be considered as a candidate for a posthumous degree when nominated by the Dean of the College in which the student was enrolled.

The Dean's proposal will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the Provost and Registrar to determine eligibility.
