About Graduation

Official Graduation Check

Before you apply for graduation we recommend that you meet with your departmental advisor(s) to do an official graduation check. Although you may have completed your program requirements, you must also complete the general degree requirements. Degree requirements vary depending on the type of degree you are pursuing (e.g., Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Business Administration). Contact your departmental advisor(s) for further information.

Once you are sure that you have met all requirements for graduation, you can proceed to apply for graduation (see instructions below).
