A student planning to complete graduation requirements at the end of the Fall semester should submit the graduation application by the last day to drop classes for the immediately preceding Spring semester. However, those wishing to participate in the Spring Commencement prior to completion are encouraged to submit their application the preceding fall. See Commencement for more details on "walking" in Commencement prior to degree completion.
The graduation application is submitted online via Self-Service. A $100 graduation fee will be added to the student account upon application. Applications submitted after the above deadlines will be assessed an additional $50 late application fee.
