Graduation Information from Student Handbook
Undergraduate students must file a formal application for
graduation for the appropriate degree through their major advisor.
Students who may be eligible to graduate will receive a
letter containing complete instructions from the Office of the
University Registrar. Graduate students must file a formal application
for the appropriate degree in the Office of the University
Registrar.
Application deadlines are published in the Schedule of

In addition to the student’s formal application for graduation,
the University requires graduating undergraduates to complete
senior assessment testing and to sit for and pass the Exit
Examination of Writing Proficiency. The University Testing Center
coordinates the senior assessment and Exit Examination. A
Departmental Certification Form must also be completed by
the student’s Chief Departmental Advisor. All work for the

for the term in which graduation is anticipated.
NOTE: Prior to receipt of the diploma, students
must resolve all outstanding balances on their accounts,
including any pending disciplinary charges
and must have fully complied with all sanctions
imposed as a result of the University’s disciplinary
process.
Note to students
Regarding graduation applications, status, processing and clearance information is being sent via
email, students are required by University policy to activate their email
accounts so they will receive important administrative correspondence.
Letters will be mailed through the U.S. Postal Service to students whose
email is returned because there is no active email address. Land-based mail
is, of course, slower than email and may delay processes for students.
