Application for Graduation Information
Students are required to complete the online Graduation Application in order to have their degree awarded. Students may apply starting three semesters prior to their graduation semester and should apply no later than the second week of their final semester to ensure ample time to be notified regarding any outstanding degree requirements.
Application deadlines: Fall: September 1st. Spring and Summer: February 1st. Keep in mind that if you are applying for concurrent degrees, you must submit two separate online Graduation Applications.
If you receive an error, "No Curricula Found" this means you have either already Applied to Graduate or are not yet eligible to apply. Please check your degree evaluation before you email the Grad Center.
