Best Answer

An abbreviation for an academic degree may be placed after a person's name only after the degree has been awarded. A student cannot use the abbreviation for the degree being studied for, but could use the abbreviation for another degree that has already bee awarded. As an example, if Joseph Smith is studying for a doctorate, he cannot style himself "Joseph Smith, Ph.D." However, if he has already been awarded a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Science degree, he can style himself "Joseph Smith, BA, MS."

What is a Bachelor's degree not conferred?

A bachelor's degree not conferred is the same thing as no degree. Some students may have completed all the requirements but lack the appropriate grade point average. Some students have completed all the requirements but still owe the college or university money. Still, the bottom line is that the degree has not been conferred, therefore the student does not have the degree.

How do you sign name with third year into bachelor's degree?

If you have not yet completed the bachelor's degree, you do not indicate any abbreviation after your name. Still, the abbreviations that indicate level of education (if this is what you are referring to), are not typically used for the associate and bachelor's degree. They are used for individuals with a master's or doctorate when work related.
