Answer:
A conferred bachelor's degree is the degree that you have after the final degree audit is completed and you are given your final college transcript. The date of conferral is listed both on your diploma and your transcript. There is no specific time that degrees are conferred; they are completed year round as students complete their degrees. To have a conferred degree, you must have completed all academic work for your degree program and have no outstanding debts to the university.
An important distinction to be made is that between conferral and completion. A completed degree means that you have finished all required coursework and other academic requirements for your degree program. It can be helpful if you are applying to graduate school and need proof of academic completion. On the other hand, conferral means that you are legally a graduate of a certain university, and you are legally allowed to use any titles associated with that degree. Every university has different deadlines and dates of conferral, and there may be different dates for conferral of degrees, certificates, and diplomas depending on your university.
