The ultimate responsibility for fulfilling graduation requirements rests with the individual student. Students should consult with their Academic Advisor to ensure that they are meeting all degree requirements. Students must apply for graduation by the deadline date published on the academic calendar. Applying late does not guarantee your name will appear in the program or that you will be permitted to participate in the Commencement ceremonies. Students may apply for graduation by accessing UPIKE Self-Service Graduation Application or by visiting the Registrar’s Office. Diplomas will be mailed approximately 45 days after the semester/term that degree requirements and all financial obligations to the University have been met. If an outstanding or an unpaid balance exists, a student will not receive a diploma until the balance is zero.
Students who applied for graduation but failed to meet all requirements by the anticipated completion date may be required to reapply to the institution, reapply for graduation, meet graduation requirements based on the catalog that is active at that time, and repay the $250 graduation fee.
Additional information can be obtained by contacting the University Registrar.
