GRADUATION
Application For Graduation and Notification of eligibility to Graduate
An Application to Graduate must be completed through the Web site with the Office of the Registrar by March 15 in the Winter term by each student who expects to graduate at the Spring Convocation.

An Application to Graduate must be completed through the Web site with the Office of the Registrar by September 8 of each year by each 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 30 for Spring Convocation and September 1 for Autumn Convocation.

The onus is on students to verify, on their Application to Graduate, the degree and program of study 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 degree and program of study 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 degree and program of study 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 currently are enrolled.
