Graduation Application

Review the How to Apply for Graduation Guide and the Graduation Application FAQ before completing the application. Once you apply for graduation, you will be blocked from registration after your final semester! Your final semester is the semester in which you complete your degree requirements. The registration block is removed when you actually graduate from your program and apply for a new degree program; or you withdraw from this graduation application in writing to the Registrar's Office (for undergraduates) or the Graduate School (for graduate students).
