Graduation Requirements
Graduate Application
Once a student reaches 89 credit hours, they become eligible to apply for graduation. Submit your graduation application by Dec. 1, 2026 to make sure your regalia will be here on time to be dispersed at the Grad Finale! Those who apply for graduation after March 22, 2027 will not be able to have their name in the program and will have to pay an additional fee to receive their regalia on time, due to time constraints on printing and shipping, respectively. Completing the graduate application is an important piece of the Commencement process and enables us to make sure you are properly recognized during the ceremony.
Applications submitted after December 1 will be assessed a non-refundable $50 late application fee and may not be included in Commencement publications or ceremonial materials.
