GENERAL INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS PLANNING TO GRADUATE
Students must apply to graduate in the semester prior to completing their program requirements.

After a student submits their application to graduate, the Office of Academic Records will begin a review of degree progress.

Students participating in the commencement celebration should arrive to line up at 5:00pm in the Fieldhouse.

The status of the graduation application and degree audit can be checked in DegreeWorks, or under the Planning tab in Self-Service (previously myINFO). An alert is sent to students once the official degree audit has been completed by the office of Academic Records.
