Undergraduate Graduation Checklist

Confirm that all programs of study are correctly noted. If necessary, declare or un-declare majors, minors, or concentrations. Instructions for declaring and the Request to Remove Major, Minor, and Concentration form can be found here.
Your majors, minors, and concentrations must be correct in Banner before you apply to graduate.

The graduation application is available for seniors via the "Apply to Graduate" link on the Student Profile homepage.
The graduation application is open from April 1st through September 20th for students wishing to graduate in the following year. Note that there is a $25 late fee for applications received after the deadline.
Students should choose their graduation term based on when they will be taking their last class.
Please read the application instructions carefully, as students can only complete the application once.
Once the graduation application is received, the $200 graduation fee will be assessed to student accounts for the term in which they apply to graduate. This fee is assessed regardless of commencement participation.
To view the status of the application, click the blue "Active" hyperlink in the 'Graduation Information' section of the Student Profile homepage, to the right of the profile picture.

Run your degree evaluation from your Student Profile homepage.
Meet with your advisor and/or chair to review your remaining degree requirements.
Submit any requests for changes to your major, minor, concentration, or core course requirements via an Academic Petition (i.e. course substitutions, waivers, etc.).
Confirm all approved petitioned program exceptions are notated on your degree evaluation; contact the Registrar’s Office to report discrepancies.
If you are completing a Self-Designed major/minor, please submit a copy of your major/minor contract to the appropriate Dean's Office for approval.
If you have taken (or plan to take) coursework elsewhere, be sure to send final official transcripts directly to the Registrar’s Office for processing. Hand-delivered transcripts or transcripts that are issued to students are not considered official. Additional transfer credit information can be found here.
Students must be meeting all of their GPA, credit hour, and course requirements on their degree evaluation in order to graduate.
