Application for Graduation

Complete an Application for Graduation before the beginning of the semester you intend to finish your degree program. The application process includes a degree audit. It takes time to complete, but it will help you correct omissions in your program. You must meet the requirements for the appropriate degree as listed under the section “Degrees and Degree Requirements” to be approved for graduation.

As a candidate for graduation, you must submit an application for graduation and graduation fee to the Office of the Registrar.

Note: All applications received after the deadline will be considered for the next graduation date.

Before the faculty can approve you for graduation and commencement, you must submit all documents supporting completion of degree requirements during the current term before the following dates:

These dates include courses being completed at another college or university, standardized test scores (e.g., CLEP, DANTES), and PLA credit. If all documents supporting completion of degree requirements are not received in the Registrar’s Office by the above dates, your name will not be presented to the faculty for vote, and your graduation will be at the end of the following session.

Submission of these documents requires written communication with the Registrar’s Office; phone contact is not a matter of record. These procedures and requirements apply to all students and any term in which they plan to graduate. For example:

• • If you are taking coursework at Warner University, the Registrar’s Office has documentation of that registration. No further documentation is required. Successful completion of the coursework is necessary for the degree.
  • If you are taking coursework at another college or university, the Registrar’s Office must have documentation of that registration and a final transcript of the complete course(s).
  • If you are taking standardized exams (e.g., CLEP, DANTES) to complete degree requirements, those results must be received in the Registrar’s Office before the above dates.
  • PLA applications and supporting documents must be received by the Registrar’s Office before the above dates.
