Submission deadlines are necessary so that we have ample time to review your Graduation Packet and verify that all graduation requirements have been met. Your Graduation Packet must be submitted regardless of outstanding issues such as transfer credit, petitions, and Incompletes. If you do not submit a Graduation Packet, you will not graduate!
If you have further questions regarding graduation requirements, please first reference our graduation FAQs. If you cannot find the answer you are looking for, please contact Student Services regarding the graduation process, your graduation packet materials, or the logistics of applying to graduate and please connect with your Advising Dean regarding general degree requirements or academic policies.
Additionally, the Advising Deans and Student Services are holding Graduation Application Information Sessions, where you can learn about applying for graduation, submitting your graduation packet, transfer of credit, petitions, degree audit questions/concerns, and eligibility for part-time study in the spring semester.
