To graduate, whether or not you plan to attend the ceremony, you must submit an application and pay a fee. If you earn more than one degree, you must pay a graduation fee for each. After you return your application to the Service Center, 102 Campus Avenue Building, your account will be assessed the appropriate fee, and you will be billed by the Bursar's office.
You are encouraged to apply for graduation at least a semester in advance. This way, routine checks can be made in time to inform you of any problems in meeting your degree requirements.
Applications must be received no later than 30 working days before commencement. After that date, applications will be deferred to the next commencement date.
If you apply for graduation and then do not qualify for the degree, you must pay a reapplication fee and notify the Commencement Office of the date you intend to finish your requirements. All deadlines applicable to first-time applications apply to re-applications.
