Application Process

To be a certified candidate for graduation, you must first pay a $30 graduation fee to the University Cashier. Take the paid receipt to the College Dean of your first major and obtain an Application for Graduation. Upon receipt of the Application for Graduation, complete the Candidate Section. Check for valid major(s), minor, concentration/SAC (Second Academic Concentration), degree, and expected term of completion. Note: If you are going to graduate with two degrees simultaneously, you must file two (2) Applications for Graduation. There is no additional charge for the second application.

You should also schedule an appointment with your Academic Advisor or Department Head to ensure that you meet degree requirements. Your Department Head will certify and forward the application to your Dean's Office. The Dean's Office will forward your application to the Registrar's Office. If you have questions about when you should submit your paid receipt indicating your intention to graduate, address them to your Advisor, College Dean, or Distance Education Program Coordinator. Degree Candidates who have applied for graduation will receive information from the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs about one month prior to commencement.

Please be aware that if you receive an F (failure), W (withdrawn), or I (incomplete) grade on a required course your final semester, you will not graduate. It is your responsibility to notify your Dean's Office if this happens. The Dean's Office will re-file your graduation application for the term when you will complete your requirements.
