Graduation
Students who plan to graduate in May, August or December must file a formal application for graduation early in the semester in which they expect to graduate. The deadline for filing an application for graduation is is as follows:
| November 1 | December Graduation |
| January 31 | May Graduation |
| June 16 | August Graduation * |
*There is no commencement ceremony in August. August graduates may process in the following December Commencement ceremony only.
Students who do not file an application by the stated deadline will be assessed a late fee. Students who attempt to file a retroactive application for graduation (e.g., submitting an application in June for the previous May) will not be certified to graduate until the next graduation date.
Follow these steps to complete the graduation application process:
- Pick up an application for graduation in the Registrar's Office, Zappala College Center Room 224
- Print a copy of your unofficial Academic Record from Project EASE or request an unofficial copy of your transcript ($1.00 fee) from the Registrar's Office
- Meet with your academic advisor to confirm the completion of all graduation requirements in your major
- All declarations of second majors, minors or certifications must be processed before submitting an application for graduation. Indicating a second major, minor or certification on the Application for Graduation is not official notice of a second major, minor or certification. You must submit a Declaration of Major/Minor/Certification form. Forms are available in the Registrar's Office but must be filed in the Office of Academic and Career Advising, Room AB 211.
- Return the completed application along with your unofficial transcript and graduation fee (fees are posted on the application) to the Registrar's Office.
