Graduation Information

Commencement for 2008 is June 15.

Remember, graduation does not just "happen" - you must be an active participant in the process! If you think you are two to three terms away from finishing your degree, you'll want to apply for graduation.

Once your application has been filed, the Registrar's office will do an audit and return copies to you and your advisor for review. It is important that you submit your application before your final quarter so you have time to complete any deficiencies prior to the last quarter.

Additional information and links from the Registrar are below. Stay in touch with your academic advisor and check back often to the OSU graduation web pages to stay current on what you need to do to make sure you're on track for graduation.

If you plan to attend the Commencement ceremony on June 15, make sure you register for the event by visiting the main OSU Commencement page.
