Graduation Information

Beginning with the Class of 2024, all graduation application forms are assigned to the graduating student in Populi by your advisor.

All graduates are required to submit their Populi assigned graduation application form by the date given to you. You will receive an email notification to complete the form. Please contact your advisor if you believe you should be graduating but have not yet received your graduation form.

Failure to submit the graduation application by the semester deadline (above) may result in the student being unable to graduate that semester.

All graduating students are required to pay the graduation fee. Please see the Tuition and Financial Aid page for the current graduation fee. For Graduate students, this fee may have been included in your comprehensive exam fee. The graduation fee covers the administrative costs associated with completing your graduation review, as well as printing and shipping your diploma. There is no cost to attend the Commencement Exercises, though you must purchase your own graduation regalia.

Please take note that academic and financial obligations must be met in order to receive your diploma and transcript. Diplomas ship in early-mid June, even if you are attending Commencement. Any questions regarding your diploma may be directed to the Registrar, Dr. Rebecca Davis, at [email protected].
