Students can apply to graduate in the Student Administration System once registration for their last semester opens up.

Info

Students should apply to graduate by the fourth week of their final semester for each degree they are completing (or the spring semester for summer graduates).

Students who have applied for graduation who later determine that they will not complete their requirements by the graduation deadlines for that semester may change their graduation term by contacting the Degree Audit section of the Office of the Registrar. Once a graduation term has been changed, there is no need to re-apply for graduation. There is also no need to resubmit a final plan of study unless changes are made that require approval from the department. In these cases, Degree Audit recommends that students contact their advisors.
