The Office of Records and Registration provides helpful information on how to apply for graduation.
If you are completing all your requirements, you can submit a graduation application through your BOSS account. NOTE: You should not apply to graduate in a semester that you will not be finished with requirements when grades post for that term.
Please note, submission of a graduation application does not guarantee graduation. You must meet all university and major requirements to receive your degree.
If you are completing multiple programs, make sure to submit a graduation application for each degree (such as one for your bachelor’s degree and a certificate).
Do not assume that things will be taken care of automatically. If a requirement is listed on your graduation application, it means that we have no record of it and therefore it has not been met.
