Students that apply for graduation will not be eligible to register for subsequent semesters without being admitted to a new degree program. Students that wish to change their graduation semester after they have applied must contact the graduation office and must reapply for graduation for their new intended semester of graduation prior to the conferral date of their original graduation semester.
Students apply for graduation for the semester in which they are completing their final courses.
All requirements must be completed prior to the degree conferral date.
