Are you within two semesters of graduation?

Students must submit their application for degree (AFD) online prior to graduation.  It is recommended that students submit their AFD at least two semesters before their expected date of graduation, in accordance with their department's specific Senior Check timeline. 

AFD Deadlines

In order to be included in the commencement program booklet, students must submit their AFD prior to October 1 for fall graduation and March 1 for spring/summer graduation. NOTE: If you file your AFD past the deadline, you may still be eligible to graduate and partcipate in commencement ceremonies; however, we will not be able to print your name in the ceremony program booklet.
