Graduation Deadlines

• A student must apply to graduate at the Records and Registration Office, 101 SSC, no later than the third week of a semester or first week of a summer session in which the student plans to graduate. If a student submits an application for graduation and does not complete degree requirements 30 days after the commencement date a new application must be completed for another semester or summer session.

• All credits accepted toward a degree, including transfer credits, must be earned within a seven year period. The time period starts with the beginning of the term in which the first course approved for your program of study was taken. For example: You are accepted into a UWSP graduate program in Fall 2005. Part of your approved plan of study for your master’s degree includes a course taken in spring 2003. Thus your seven-year time period to complete the degree starts with the beginning of the spring 2003 semester not the semester in which you were accepted into your graduate program.
