F. Graduation

1. Certificate. Upon graduation, each student who has completed all requirements for the student's academic concentration shall receive a certificate issued by the Law School indicating that the student has completed a concentration.
2. Certificate with Distinction. Concentration students who have either completed a thesis approved by a concentration Faculty Director or attained upon graduation a cumulative 3.50 average in all concentration courses shall receive a certificate indicating the student has completed the concentration with distinction.
3. Transcripts. Any academic transcript issued for a concentration graduate shall have a notation indicating that the student has completed the student's concentration, and, as applicable, whether a student has completed the student's concentration with distinction. An explanation of the nature of the concentration completed shall be attached to the transcript.

A student may receive a certificate and transcript notation in only one academic concentration. The certificates and transcript notations will make clear that these are academic concentrations, not practice specialties.
