Attention: The paperwork you filled out with your advisor is NOT your graduation application, you must apply online! If you applied for a previous graduation cycle and did not graduate, you MUST reapply. Applying for graduation and completing an RSVP for the ceremony are two separate items.
If you anticipate graduating in August 2016, you must complete the online graduation application by July 8, 2016. Students who have previously applied for graduation, but whose degree was not granted must resubmit a graduation application. If you will not complete all degree requirements by August please do not submit a graduation application at this time. Only students who will complete all requirements by the end of the summer semester will be eligible for August graduation.
Detailed below are instructions to apply for August graduation, please use Internet Explorer:
