GRADUATION

Degree Conferral

Although a student may have completed all degree program requirements, graduation is not automatic. Students who are ready to graduate must apply for Degree Conferral with the Office of the Registrar in order to identify the semester in which they expect to complete their degree requirements.

The Office of the Registrar will assess the candidates' eligibility for degree conferral. The official conferral date will be the end of the semester in which all degree requirements have been met. Candidates for degree conferral must submit their application to the Office of the Registrar by the deadline on their conferral date. To apply, click on Apply for Degree Conferral on the left.
