Are there any new changes to the application process?

GRADUATION APPLICATION PROCESS-effective for all students applying for Spring 17

• Students who do not file on time will be charged a $25 late application fee. For example, if an

Undergraduate is planning to complete all of her degree requirements by Spring 17 but missed

the filing deadline, the student will pay the $30 (application/diploma fee) and the $25 late

application fee.

• Undergraduate and Graduate students will not be able to register for courses beyond the

expected graduation term.

• If a student does not complete the requirements for the degree by his/her expected graduation

term, the student will need to fill out a Request to Change Graduation Term form and pay a $25

fee to update the expected graduation term.

How do these changes affect the students that applied for Fall 16?

GRADUATION APPLICATION PROCESS

• The changes to the graduation application process will affect only those students that apply for a

Spring 17 or later term.

• If a student doesn’t complete his/her last remaining requirements for Fall 2016 (and the student

applied for Fall 2016), the application will be deferred to Spring 2017.

• We will be accepting the Financial Aid Request to Change Graduation Term form during the Fall

term if a student needs to move her/her Fall 2016 application. This will be the last term that we

will be using and accepting this form.

In the works

• Graduation Applications ( separate application for undergraduate and graduates)

• Request to Change Graduation Term form
