Graduate Program Completion Requirements

Each candidate for a degree must file a Graduation Application with the Office of the Registrar, typically within ten days of the beginning date of classes for the term in which the student expects to complete the requirements for degree. Please consult the Applying to Graduate Webpage for specific dates.  If an application for a diploma was filed for a previous graduation period in which the student did not graduate, a new application is necessary. Degrees are granted at the end of the fall, winter, and summer terms, even though commencement exercises are held only in April (or May) and December.
