Graduation and Convocation

Congratulations! You are one step closer to graduation.
All students must submit a graduation application and initiate a Degree Audit Worksheet with their academic advisor in order for their degree to be awarded. Please follow the instructions below carefully.

We recommend applying for graduation the semester before you intend to graduate, but no earlier than 1 year before your intended graduation date. There is a $50 application fee involved. An additional late fee of $50 will apply for students who file after the deadline.

Deadlines to Apply:

  • Spring and Summer graduates: February 1
  • Fall and Winter graduates: September 1

How to Apply:

  1. Go to your UAccess Student Center home page.
  2. Navigate to the ACADEMIC RECORD menu
  3. Click on Academic Summary
  4. Click on Apply for Graduation
  5. Select the Expected Graduation Term (if not sure, ask your advisor)
  6. Select Yes or No for ROTC Instructions
  7. Select options for Commencement Booklet and Diploma Instructions
  8. Read and check off the Terms and Conditions
  9. Verify your Diploma Name
  10. Review your application and click Submit Application

Once you have applied for graduation, please email your advisor, and we will work on your Degree Audit and the Degree Audit Worksheet.  The Degree Audit Worksheet (DAW) is a form that your academic advisor submits to Graduation Services, which confirms that you are expected to meet all degree requirements during your intended graduation term.

An advising appointment is not required for the Degree Audit Worksheet.  If any concerns or issues arise as we are reviewing your status, your advisor will reach out to you. 

After you submit your graduation application and have contacted your advisor, you will receive an email with instructions to complete the Psychology Senior Survey.  This anonymous survey will take approximately 10-20 minutes to complete.  This is a requirement for graduation.  Once we receive confirmation your survey is complete, the advising team will submit your Degree Audit Worksheet to graduation services.

 

 

Graduation and Convocation

Psychology graduates are invited to attend the College of Science Convocation Ceremony, held every May and December. You will receive an invitation for the ceremony to your Catmail during your final semester. Students graduating over summer are invited to walk in the May ceremony, and are automatically included in the graduation invite.
