Why haven’t I received a status update on my graduation application?

If you've applied for graduation and haven't received a status update, rest assured that your application is being processed. Here's what to expect:

  • Review Timing: Graduation applications are reviewed at the start of the term you selected, in the order they are received.
  • Advance Applications: If you applied early, your application will be reviewed at the start of the term you expect to graduate.
  • Initial Review: After the application deadline, the review process takes 4-6 weeks. You'll receive an email with your status after this initial review.
  • Final Review & Degree Conferral: If all requirements are met, your degree will be conferred at the end of the term.
