APPLYING FOR GRADUATION

A student’s manuscript must be cleared in order to graduate; however, students also must meet all other departmental and University requirements. During the first two weeks of the term in which a candidate expects to receive a degree, an application should be made for a diploma at the Office of the University Registrar. If a candidate previously filed for a diploma but did not receive the degree, the application procedure must be repeated. Information can be found at the registrar’s website: registrar.fsu. edu/graduation

The doctoral program manager must be notified when the student turns in their application as they are required to run a graduation check and provide proof that the student is eligible. If the student decides for any reason to delay graduation after submitting an application, they must go to the registrar’s office to fill out paperwork to withdraw their application. They must also notify the doctoral program manager, so their name is not included on the graduation program.
