Review your graduation audit.
After submitting your graduation application, the Registrar's Office will create your graduation audit. This audit will include a detailed examination of your progress towards graduation/degree completion and will be sent to your university email.
Work with your advisor.
Meet with your advisor and review your audit together, working with the Registrar's Office to correct any issues.
Clarify any final questions you have before graduating.
Watch for important graduation/commencement information.
Various offices will be sending information to your university-issued email throughout the year regarding graduation and the commencement ceremony.
Information will only be sent to students who have filled out a graduation application.
That's it! Well, almost. A few more important details:
There's a difference between the commencement date (set for the ceremony each spring) and your graduation date (the date that you will complete all of your degree requirements, which normally falls on the Sunday after your last term ends).
There is only one commencement ceremony held each year. The ceremony for the 2023-2024 academic year will be held on May 12, 2024. If you decide not to come, you cannot attend the following year's ceremony.
You are issued only one diploma, so think carefully about how you want your name to look (use your legal name, middle name, middle initial, etc.).
