Graduation
Applying to Graduate
Whether you are planning to participate in ceremonies or not, you must apply to graduate to receive your diploma or certificate. This may be accomplished through MyASU once you have an approved iPOS on file. Apply during your last semester of study, by the deadline listed, to avoid a late fee.
Visit the graduation section of the University Registrar Services website for more information, including how to have your degree conferred early if you finish graduate degree program requirements during session A.
Graduation Ceremonies
Students who have earned a graduate degree, both on campus and online, are welcome to attend one or both of the following ceremonies but will need to register by the deadline to participate. After you have applied to graduate, an RSVP link will appear under the Graduation tab. If you applied early, the link may appear grayed out with a note that 'registration is not yet available.' Registration generally opens 4-6 weeks into the semester, so check back at a later date and register before the deadline to ensure a seat at the ceremony.
The Office of University Ceremonies posts the date when registration opens on the RSVP to a ceremony page.
