Before you can graduate, an audit of your records is performed by the Registrar’s office to determine if all requirements for your degree are met. This process does not begin without an application to graduate. This application must be submitted even if you do not intend to participate in a ceremony.

Follow these steps:

*Fees are added to your account by the Registrar when the application is processed. You can then pay fees as part of your normal tuition and fees for the term. All fees must be paid prior to graduation. Payment is NOT required before obtaining a degree audit.
