Welcome to the Registrar's Office

The Graduation Applications for Fall 2026 and Spring 2027 will open at the end of Block 2.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO APPLY? 

Applications are required for all graduating students. It is also the student's responsibility to complete their degree requirement obligations (32-units w/met residency + gen-Eds + major(s) = ready for degree conferral review). By completing a graduation application, students are confirming their intentions to graduate; opting in/out of ceremony participation and announcements; and initiating a review of their record by the registrar's office to be certified for a degree. Responses to applications are shared with the following stakeholders: registrar, advisors, department chairs, college events.

Applications for Fall 2026 and Spring 2027 will  be made available at the end of Block 2. A successful candidate will have completed the items listed below ahead of their graduation review.

• Applied to Graduate (when applications open, apply by the respective deadlines)
• Declared major(s) and potential minor(s)
• Scheduled/Completed a graduation review with advisor(s).  

• Proofed Stellic record for completion with advisor(s)! Do not ignore (red) marks as they indicate something is missing. Students should work with their advisor(s) and department chair to understand why.

  • If a course should be counting in your progress on Stellic, an exception must be made.  
  • All requirements should reflect either completed (green) or registered to be completed (yellow) by end of Block 4 (for Winter Grads) or Block 8 (for Spring Grads) to remain eligible for graduation.
  • Students who have an incomplete Stellic record should anticipate email outreach from the Registrar to verify accuracy, resolve potential concerns, and/or to discuss options moving forward. Please do not ignore communication outreach from the Registrar’s Office as this could jeopardize an ability to resolve an issue that keeps you from graduating on time.
• Final (official) transcripts/reports for previously pending/missing transfer work has been submitted to the Registrar's Office.
• Finish remaining requirements! This includes any remaining “IP” or “I” marks on their transcript by end of Block 4 (for Fall Grads) or Block 8 (for Spring Grads).
• If there is missing transfer credit on your student's record, an official transcript must be sent to the Registrar’s Office ASAP.
• Stay informed with graduation events from the College Events office 
• Participating at a ceremony? Don't forget to record your name pronunciation thru Namecoach (notifications via email) 

Students must meet all degree requirements by end of Block 8 to graduate and receive a degree at Spring Commencement. Degree requirements include: major, general education, and 32-unit w/residency. Students who are within their final two units of their degree requirements by end of Block 8 and want to participate at Commencement qualify as "Marching Only" participants at the ceremony. Marching Only particpants are not degree holders until the conferral period following the semester in which they complete their remaining requirements. If you think you’ll fall in this category, please apply and reach out to the Registrar's office so that we can discuss a marching only option that keeps you on the list for the Commencement ceremony.
