Your name may be added to or removed from the Degree List by the Registrar's Office at the request of the department up to the Last Day of Classes in the term.

Your department will approve your degree application later in the term.

At the degree meeting of the Committee on Academic Performance (CAP), the departments recommend which candidates should be awarded degrees and which should be removed from the Degree List.

For questions regarding the CAP degree candidates meeting, contact Staff to the Committee on Academic Performance, 7-104, (617) 253-4164.
After the CAP meeting, the Degree List is approved by the Faculty and by the MIT Corporation.
