Don't forget to apply for graduation. Make sure to submit your graduation application to the Office of the Registrar by October 1 for spring graduation, February 1 for summer and fall graduations.  Please note your application for graduation is separate from the permanent program that the School sends to the Registrar once you have 30 credit hours (or earlier if needed). This does not require your signature and the stated deadline does not apply to the permanent program.
