Graduation Information
Undergraduate Students--
You must apply for graduation by
the end of the first week of undergraduate priority registration
for the semester of intended graduation. This can be done on the web using MyBlugold (see Application for Graduation).
Your record will be reviewed for graduation only after you have registered for your final term. At that time, a letter will be sent to you indicating your eligibility to graduate. However, since this is a lengthy process, you should BE SURE to review your own degree audit after your final registration and address ANY "unmet" requirements immediately!
Graduate Students--
Students seeking a Masters degree must apply for graduation by the end of the first week of classes of the semester in which
you are planning to graduate. This can be done on the web using MyBlugold (see Application for Graduation).
Commencement Exercises--
Candidates for graduation are encouraged to attend commencement ceremonies,
which are held three times during the calendar year: at the close of the
fall and spring semesters of the academic year, and at the close of the summer
