You did it! Congratulations on a job well done!

  Graduation application serves as the basis for evaluating the academic records of a student/graduate. If a student:

1. completed all academic requirements of a program, and
2. received all grades in the transcript,

she/he should apply for graduation without delay. The Student Affairs Office reviews student records upon the submission of the application.

  A student is not eligible for degree conferral if any of the requirements are not satisfied (curriculum requirements, internship, etc.) and in case of any incomplete grades in the transcript. All financial obligations must be settled.

  If your personal information has changed since the enrollment (such as your name or surname), you must submit the proof of change to the Student Affairs Office.
