If it’s your senior year, you’re almost there! Graduation is just around the corner. Have you completed your graduation application yet? Graduation applications are located in MyPortal (JICS) under the Graduation tab, and are due the semester prior to the time you believe you are graduating. This ensures time for your records to be reviewed and approved for graduation. Visit this page for everything you need to know about applying for graduation.

Commencement is our graduation ceremony that takes place each fall and spring semester to celebrate the accomplishment of all our graduates. As long as you submit an on-time graduation application indicating plans to participate in commencement, and your degree progress deems you eligible to participate, you will be permitted to participate in the commencement ceremony. You will receive (a limited number of) tickets to distribute to your friends/family so they can attend the ceremony, and the event is also live-streamed on the ÊìÅ®ÈËÆÞ website for those unable to attend. Your degree will be conferred once all your final grades have been entered and all non-course degree requirements are met. The Office of the Registrar confers degrees on a regular basis throughout each semester.

After your degree has been conferred, and holds are cleared from your account, you will receive your diploma and an official sealed transcript in the mail! If you have any questions regarding graduation, please email graduation@seu.edu.
