Graduation Process and Expectations

Process and Expectations

Follow these steps:

  • VERIFY YOUR RECORD. Students must confirm that all of their majors, minors, specializations, and/or certificates are officially declared. Applications that note majors, minors, areas of concentration and/or certificates as officially declared that are not declared will be denied.
  • TALK TO YOUR DEPARTMENT/ADVISOR. Your department (graduate students) or academic advisor (undergraduate students) will review your application and academic record for potential graduation roadblocks.
    • Note: Students are welcome, but not required, to schedule an appointment with their academic advisor before submitting their application for graduation.
  • COMPLETE THE EXIT SURVEY. The Office of the Provost asks that all graduating seniors and graduate students complete the following exit surveys to gain a fuller understanding of the student experience so campus administrators can provide the best programs and services possible to students:
