Candidates for graduation must complete an application for graduation and a degree audit.  Seniors completing graduation requirements at the end of the fall semester must submit to the Registrar’s Office an application for graduation and a degree audit on or before the end of the eighth week of the previous fall semester.  Seniors completing graduation requirements at the end of the spring semester or either of the following summer sessions must submit an application for graduation and a degree audit on or before the end of the eighth week of the previous spring semester.

Students who file an application for graduation, but fail to complete all graduation requirements as planned, may be required to submit a new degree audit and new application for graduation. 

A degree audit processing fee, payable at the Student Accounts Office, is assessed when the degree audit and application for graduation is approved.  If the student fails to complete all graduation requirements, an additional degree audit processing fee will be assessed for the next semester or term in which graduation is planned.
