We welcome you to the journey through undergraduate degree conferral. We will explore ways to provide support to students prior to submitting the graduation application including the proactive measures that can streamline degree conferral (hint: it starts earlier than you may think!) We will also share an update on the evolution of the Degree Audit Worksheet (DAW) and future improvements in conferral processes. Join the discussion, share insights, and contribute to what will be an informative session focused on student success. 

Join the No Holding Back team, including leaders from UAIR, Bursar, SSRI, and Academic Advising as we discuss the role administrative and student success holds have in shaping student experience. Arizona was chosen to be part of a national community of practice including 12 Universities, Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE), and the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO) to better understand the impact that administrative and student success holds have on students. Thanks to the work of several key campus partners who aided the study by providing an inventory of their use of holds, we will highlight the major work and findings of the project to look at where holds exist, the effectiveness of these holds, and how to improve the process. Don't miss this opportunity to deepen your understanding of holds on student success and gain valuable perspectives on optimizing these processes.
