International Student Graduation

Graduation

The process to apply for graduation (ceremony and degree conferral) is below:

1. Apply for graduation here. Application deadlines can be found for each semester under the Important Dates section here.
2. Once your graduation audit is complete, you will receive an email stating that you are on track for graduation. 
3. If you are wanting to receive your degree, but walk in a later commencement ceremony, you must first complete the graduation application, then email [email protected] to request. Approval is not guaranteed.
4. If you are planning for family members to attend the ceremony, please note that invitation letters are not required for visa applications and that we do not provide these letters.

Instead, you can send your graduation audit email to your family and friends who planning to attend the ceremony as documentation of your graduation semester. This can be used in place of an invitation letter if needed. (Letters of invitation are not required by the US Embassy for a tourist visa or reviewed by them for processing.)

Commencement Ceremony dates can be found here for December and May under the most recent Academic Calendar.
