Graduation Application Process

Are you nearing completion of your program of study? You must apply to graduate!

You must complete the graduation application for the quarter in which you plan to complete all program requirements.

  • If completing program requirements by August, you will submit application for Summer, by August 1st.
  • If completing program requirements by February, you will submit application for Winter, by February 1st.

Important:

Spring and summer graduates only - submit your application by April 1st if you wish your name to appear in the Commencement Ceremony Program.  

How to submit the graduation application:

  1. Check your progress in Self Service (Academics - Student Planning - My progress). Contact your advisor if you have any questions about your program completion.
