If you plan to graduate during the 2024-2025 academic year, complete the graduation application immediately.
You are only allowed to submit one application for graduation per academic year. If you need to make a correction or change to your application (commencement participation, name on diploma, etc.) after it has already been submitted, please contact registrar@d809.com.
To be considered a member of the class of 2025, you must have applied for one of the 5 graduation dates for the 2024-2025 academic year:

Review your graduation audit.
After submitting your graduation application, the Registrar's Office will create your graduation audit. This audit will include a detailed examination of your progress towards graduation/degree completion and will be sent to your university email.
Work with your advisor.
Meet with your advisor and review your audit together, working with the Registrar's Office to correct any issues.
Clarify any final questions you have before graduating.
Watch for important graduation/commencement information.
Various offices will be sending information to your university-issued email throughout the year regarding graduation and the Commencement ceremony.
Information will only be sent to students who have filled out a graduation application.
That's it! Well, almost. A few more important details:
There's a difference between the commencement date (set for the ceremony each spring) and your graduation date (the date that you will complete all of your degree requirements, which normally falls on the Sunday after your last term ends).
There is only one commencement ceremony held each year. The ceremony for the 2023-2024 academic year was held on May 12, 2024. If you decided not to come, you cannot attend the following year's ceremony. The 2024-25 ceremony will be held on May 18, 2025.
You are issued only one diploma, so think carefully about how you want your name to look (use your legal name, middle name, middle initial, etc.).
