Graduation Applications

Graduating soon? Here's what you need to do:

  1. Fill out the Graduation Application (available at the Registrar's Office, Peer Advising [JO-113] or the Psychology Department Office [JO-223])
  2. Print your degree progress report with e-campus and attach it to your graduation application. Make sure your printout does not cut off the course grades.  Course grades must be checked as part of the graduation application process. Bring these materials to faculty offices in the following order:
    1. Minor department head (if you have a minor)
    2. Secondary Major Advisor, and then Department Head (if you have a second major)
    3. Primary (Psychology) Major Advisor
  3. Bring the signed application to the Department of Psychology office (JO-223) before the deadline
    • December graduation: June 1
    • May graduation: October 15
    • August graduation (walking in May, but taking summer courses to complete your program): February 15.

Graduation Application Tips

  • Only place "check marks" next to classes required for graduation. (If you do NOT need the class to count towards the 38-hours required for the Psychology major, it should NOT be checked.)
  • For courses that you have not yet completed, it is best to list the requirement instead of the specific class. For example, instead of listing "PSYC 495: Field Placement" you should list "Capstone Course." (This way if you can’t get into a field placement, you would still automatically graduate as long as a capstone is completed.)
  • You should only list the major/minor courses that you plan to complete on the application form.
