A student who expects to graduate at the end of a semester must file, in person or by mail, an Application for Degree by the deadline posted each semester. Any student who does not graduate will be moved to the next graduation date within the same academic year. The student must refile in any subsequent semester in which graduation is anticipated.

Please complete an Application for Degree with the Registrar's Office by the end of the first month of your final semester.  In addition, to avoid any possible delays in obtaining your diploma, be sure to indicate the correct date of graduation on your application.
