Application Status

Sign in to check your application for graduation status. 

Applied: Your application for graduation has been received and is being processed. You will be notified by email only if your application cannot be processed. If it cannot be processed your status will change to denied or withdrawn (see below). Review your Degree Audit Report or your Plan of Study regularly to ensure that all requirements are met. If your application for graduation is not denied or withdrawn you will stay in applied status until your degree is posted approximately 6 to 8 weeks after the degree conferral date.

Denied: Your application for graduation has been denied because you will not meet one or more degree requirements by the degree conferral date. Review your Degree Audit Report or Plan of Study and contact either your academic advisor or department chair to review your degree requirements and discuss your options. No fee is required to refile for graduation.

Withdrawn: All coursework listed on the Degree Audit Report or Plan of Study, including currently enrolled courses or grades of Incomplete must be completed by the degree conferral date. Students who fail to comply with these requirements will be withdrawn from graduation and must refile for graduation in the semester their requirements will be completed. No fee is required to refile for graduation.

Undergraduate students who no longer wish to pursue a minor, concurrent degree, or certificate should contact their academic advisor. Failure to do so could result in the student being withdrawn from graduation and may delay the posting of their degree.
