Applying to Graduate

1. Register in your final semester for at least 1 credit hour of graduate-level coursework.

2. Verify that your approved Interactive Plan of Study (iPOS) is correct, and complete any needed course changes. 

3. Check you meet all degree requirements in the Summary/Submit tab of the iPOS. 

4. Take a moment to review the Graduation Checklist to confirm you’ve completed all the required steps. 

5. From My ASU, go to the My Programs box to find the select the Graduation tab. Follow the instructions: a credit or debit card is required to complete your application. 

• Fall: October 1

• Spring: February 15

• Summer: June 15

If the application deadline falls on a weekend, it will be extended to the next business day.

Students who have completed all degree requirements after the completion of session A courses can choose to have their degree conferred early. After submitting your graduation application (see above), complete the Session A Degree Conferral Request if you want your degree posted after the end of Session A. Please ensure you are only enrolled in Session A coursework if this is the case. 

Please inform your academic advisor if you choose this option so they can ensure all your degree requirements are completed at the end of Session A rather than at the end of Session C (when most other degrees are conferred).

Use the Graduation Letter Request form to request a Graduation Pending Letter, Letter of Completion, or a Letter of Invitation from the Graduation Office. We often receive requests of this nature from students who have a job lined up after their degree. Please note that a Graduation Pending Letter or Letter of Completion will only be provided if you have successfully completed all graduation checklist items (See above). 

You must have completed your capstone project and received a grade. If you have not completed these steps but need to confirm with your future employer that your graduation is pending, please contact your academic advisor or solsonline.grad@asu.edu to request a less formal letter.

Students who apply for graduation will not be eligible to register for subsequent semesters unless they are admitted to a new degree program. Students who wish to change their graduation semester after they have applied must contact the graduation office at graduation@asu.edu and notify them of their new intended graduation term prior to the conferral date of their original term.
