Congratulations! Just a few more steps to graduate!
As you prepare to graduate, please make sure to complete all your academic and financial obligations.
Once the application for graduation has been filed, students who have completed all work toward their degrees are automatically eligible to participate in the commencement ceremony. Undergraduate students who are eight or fewer credits hours short of completing their degrees will be permitted to participate in the ceremony if they are registered for summer school. Information on the commencement ceremony is sent only to those students who apply for graduation. Graduate students who have not completed all requirements by the end of the spring semester may march in the commencement ceremony only if they are eligible to march through the Petition to March policy.
Diplomas are issued only once, however, if there is an error on your diploma, please contact the Registrar’s Office within 90 days of receipt, so that a corrected diploma can be produced. Diplomas will not be released to students with a balance owed to the University or an incomplete Exit Interview.
