To ensure a smooth path to graduation, students should apply to graduate at least one full semester before their final term<\/strong>. Early application gives you time to complete a graduation audit<\/a>, resolve any outstanding requirements, and make necessary schedule adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you wait until your final semester to apply, you may not have time to add required courses, and your name may be missing from important graduation lists\u2014such as the official roster of graduating seniors and the printed commencement program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

To apply to graduate, click on the Graduation tile from your Homepage in accesSPoint<\/a>. This tile will appear when you are eligible to apply.
