Four Simple Steps to Apply for Graduation
The end is
in sight! If you've earned 90 or more
academic credits, you received a message from the Registrar's Office informing
you that you are eligible to apply for graduation.
However,
eligibility is only the start of the graduation application process. Below are
four simple steps you can take now to ensure that you’ll soon be shaking hands
with President Hrabowski as you receive your UMBC diploma.
Note: Even if you do not plan to attend
the commencement ceremony, you still need to apply to graduate in order to earn
your degree.
Step 1: Apply for graduation!
Thursday, February
15th is the last day undergraduates can apply for May Graduation.
Only those
students who have every single requirement needed for degree completion on
their spring semester schedules will be permitted to participate in the commencement
ceremony.
Step 2: Review
your degree audit!
Your degree
audit indicates your progress toward degree completion. If you see
“unsatisfied” items, these are requirements that appear to be missing and need to be addressed immediately. Your degree audit is located on myUMBC,
under the guide link “Advising and Student Support.”
Makesure
any substitutions or waivers of major requirements are documented in your
degree audit; you may need to submit a Help/RT ticket to the Registrar’s Office to add these notations to your
record.
Step 3:
Wrap up any outstanding details ASAP!
If you have
Advanced Placement or CLEP scores, transfer transcripts or other items you need
to provide to UMBC, delay no longer! If
the major, minor, or certificate program on your record is out of date, or if
you have additional majors or minors that you need to remove, submit a Declaration of Major form.
If you are
taking a course at another institution that you plan to transfer, you must have
a Verification of Transferability form on file with
the Registrar’s Office and be prepared to submit a copy of your
schedule. Any of these items could
prevent you from being able to graduate, making it seem as though you are not
finished with your degree requirements.
Step 4:
Let the celebration begin!
Participating
in the commencement ceremony and other celebratory activities on campus is the
culmination of all of your hard work. Take time to recognize all it took to get
you to this moment and be proud of your accomplishments!
Finally, use
the link below to determine the criteria for Honors Eligibility.
