Graduation Application and Diplomas

Degree/Certificate Application 

In order to be awarded a degree/certificate, students must apply for graduation in WebAdvisor, once they have registered for their final classes. Degree candidates who have submitted a degree application are eligible to participate in commencement if they have completed all of their degree requirements, or will complete all requirements by the end of the summer semester. The graduate school’s annual commencement ceremony is held on the first Sunday in June.

Degree/Certificate Application Process

1. Log into WebAdvisor.
2. Select Program Evaluation to confirm you are registered in your final classes and will complete all program requirements.
3. On the WebAdvisor main menu select Apply for Graduation. 
4. Identify the degree/certificate program that you are completing (do not select a license or endorsement program). 
5. Follow prompts and submit form.

Once approved, you will be sent a Graduation Application Evaluation email. Degree candidates will receive additional details regarding participating in the June commencement ceremony. (Commencement ceremony participation is limited to degree candidates.)
