The Graduate School reminds you to:

1. Update your diploma address (where you want your diploma mailed) and diploma name (the name you wish to appear on your diploma). Changes to both diploma addresses and names must be completed at least one week prior to the end of the term. See the Diplomas page for additional information and instructions.
   
   
2. Make sure all incomplete grades for previous terms have been turned into the Records Office, 126 Jesse Hall.
   
   
3. Notify your department that you intend to graduate.
   
   
4. Order regalia (cap, gown and tassel) from the University Bookstore in Student Center no later than one and a half months prior to graduation. Visit the Regalia page in this site for more details.
   
   
5. Order announcements.
   
   
6. Pay off your student account. Transcripts and diplomas will not be released if you have any University financial obligation. You may confirm your billing status with the Cashier's Office.
   
   
7. Most divisions request that graduates notify them of the number of guests attending commencement activities so adequate seating, etc., may be arranged. Contact your dean's office with this information or inquire with your school/college's commencement liaison.
   
   
8. Inform the Graduate School of your impending graduation, so it may plan for your participation in the Graduate School ceremony.
   
   
9. Doctoral students must have successfully defended their dissertations in order to participate in the Graduate School ceremony. Contact the Graduate School for more information.
