Effective fall 2010, a $25 fee is charged when applying to graduate. The fee is assessed per degree objective (example: master of arts, associate in science, etc.) and is charged only once during an academic year (in the event the student does not meet graduation requirements that term). The charge is used to defray the cost of reviewing the candidate's academic record and diploma production.
Please remember, graduation is not automatic. You must apply to graduate and declare your intent to participate in a ceremony! All graduate and undergraduate students who plan to graduate and participate in a ceremony must complete the following three-step process:
Step 1— Eligible students must complete an application to graduate. Visit either the Undergraduate Graduation Application site or the Completing Graduate Study page for more information.
Step 2— Eligible students must then complete the Ceremony Participation Form.
Step 3— Lastly, participants will need to order the necessary materials such as the cap, gown, and tassel. We ask that you get all your materials early in case something needs to be returned or exchanged.
