To fulfil the graduation requirements in any bachelor's degree program at Western, at least ten courses (including five senior courses) must be completed successfully through Western or one of its affiliated colleges.

An Application to Graduate must be filed with the Office of the Registrar by the last day to add a course in the Winter term by each undergraduate student who expects to graduate at the Spring Convocation.

An Application to Graduate must be filed with the Office of the Registrar by August 1st of each year by each undergraduate student who expects to graduate at the Autumn Convocation.

Graduate departments will notify the Office of the Registrar about graduate students who have completed requirements. Notification must be received by April 30th for Spring Convocation and September 1st for Autumn Convocation.

The onus is on students to verify, on their Application to Graduate, the area(s) of concentration/disciplines to appear on their diplomas and transcripts. Applicants must inform the Registrar, in writing, if they wish to change their name, to question their degree designation, or to postpone their graduation.

Candidates who meet the requirements for graduation in the area(s) of concentration specified on their Application to Graduate will graduate at the Convocation specified on the Application. Students who fail to meet the requirements for the specified area(s) of concentration will not graduate at the specified Convocation and should consult the Dean of their Faculty regarding alternative graduation possibilities.

Upon receipt of applications for graduation, the Office of the Registrar will review the academic records to identify and advise those students who will not be eligible to graduate even with the successful completion of courses in which they are currently enrolled.
