If a Nondisclosure of Directory Information request is on file, the University will not release the candidate’s name for any commencement publications that are made available to the public. This can include: proofs of gradation photos, hometown news releases, commencement program, etc. The candidate can request the removal of the nondisclosure request by logging into Eagle Online and removing the “Confidential Flag” on the student record.

Plan ahead and have conversations as early as possible with your advisor. Use your Degree Works audit to review your remaining graduation requirements and plan out your remaining requirements with your advisor in order to graduate your intended term.

You will need to apply for graduation online by the published deadline. 

By default, the online graduation application process uses the term that you entered the major as your catalog year. Please review your DegreeWorks audit BEFORE applying to confirm it is correct. If your catalog year does need to be changed, please do so BEFORE applying by submitting a change of major form to the Office of the Registrar.

If you get this error message, it can mean one of three things: 1) you do not have the required minimum of 80 earned credit hours to apply; 2) you are applying to graduate from a non-degree program and need to change your major (e.g. Basic Business, Pre-Medicine, etc.) or 3) you already have an online graduation application on file.

Access your Eagle Online account via TechExpress and review your DegreeWorks audit. If you have submitted an online graduation application, it will be visible at the top of your degree evaluation in the student information section under your overall GPA.

Summer graduates are included in the Fall commencement ceremonies with the December graduates. However your diploma will be mailed out in August at the completion of the Summer term and not in December. If you would like special consideration to participate in the Spring commencement before completing classes in the summer, please fill out the online Request to Walk form on our forms page. The Undergraduate Graduation office staff will email you when a decision has been reached regarding your request. The message will be sent after summer applications have been processed.
