Graduation Application Information

Applying for graduation through your OASIS account is required and allows your college to begin the process of reviewing your record to ensure you are on track for graduation. Once final grades are posted, your college will then begin certifying degrees and mailing diplomas for students who have successfully completed all degree requirements.

  • Click on Steps for Graduation to review graduation application instructions and information to prepare for the Commencement ceremony, if you choose to attend.
    • Important: If you have submitted a graduation application for a previous semester but did not graduate, you will need to submit a new graduation application.
    • Check in with your Major Academic Advisor for a graduation audit to ensure all of your program requirements have been met successfully, if you have not already done so.
