[OACRAO] Automatic awarding of degrees?

[Theresa Kolk-Conner]

Tacking on to the question about graduation application/petition:  there has been talk here about doing automatic awarding of degrees once requirements are met.  This came about due to the number of students who "forget" to petition and then remember years later (just posted a Winter 2012 degree today, just a tad bit late!).

Does anyone do this?  Implications?  Pros/cons?

Thanks,
