• No student may graduate with a grade of Incomplete, even if the “I” is in a course unrelated to the degree plan.

Students who have applied for graduation that determine they will not meet their degree requirements will be required to change their graduation term.

• Undergraduates who have applied for graduation that determined they will not meet their degree requirements may change their graduation date by submitting the Request to Change Graduating Term form to the Registrar’s office.

Undergraduates can rollover their graduation application no more than twice without paying an additional application fee.
• After the rollover deadline, undergraduate students who determine they will not meet their degree requirements must submit a Graduation Application Withdrawal Request to the Registrar’s Office. A new graduation application is mandatory for the new term which the student plans to complete. Payment for the new graduation application will be required.
• Graduate students who find they will not graduate in the term they applied to complete may change their graduation date by submitting a Graduation Rollover Application [PDF] to the Graduate School. The rollover application must be submitted by the rollover deadline, which is on the academic calendar. Graduate students can rollover their graduation application twice without having to pay any additional application fees.
