Apply for Graduation

Before you can graduate, you’ll need to complete an application for graduation and submit it to the Graduate School. You’ll need to send in your application for graduation within the first four weeks of the semester in which you plan to graduate or the first two weeks of the summer semester. A $25 application for graduation fee, assessed once in any academic year (fall, spring, summer), is required for all degree-seeking students applying for graduation. The fee will appear on the student's billing statement.
