Overview
The University of Pennsylvania confers degrees three times a year in May, August, and December. Students are required to submit a graduation application to initiate degree processing. The graduation application allows students to share with the University important information such as preferred presentation for name on diploma and in the commencement program, diploma shipping address, and formally initiates the final review of academic progress toward degree completion.
This is also an opportunity for students to review their academic record, specifically their field of study, to confirm their records accurately reflect the degree information anticipated, such as major(s), minor(s), joint degrees, etc. Although all students are expected to regularly meet with their academic advisor throughout their enrollment, it is common and appropriate for this process to prompt a conversation between the student and their academic advisor around items such as outstanding degree requirements, incomplete grades, or the decision to drop a minor, extra major, or area of study. These conversations and changes should take place prior to applying to graduate. All students are encouraged to review their academic record ahead of the application deadline and meet with their advisor about any outstanding or new questions relating to degree completion.
Graduation applications are only valid for the term indicated in the application at the time it is submitted. If the degree is not granted for that term, for any reason, the student must submit a new graduation application for the term in which they anticipate graduation.
School Graduation Information
Graduation applications open at different times throughout the year for specific student populations and academic terms. This page is updated regularly to reflect the most current application availability, deadlines, and school or division requirements.
Please locate your school below and expand the corresponding section to view important dates and deadlines and to submit your application.
Note the Following:
“No curricula available for graduation application”
error may occur if a graduation application has already been submitted for the program by the student or an administrator, if the student has not yet earned sufficient credits in the program, or the graduation application deadline has passed.
How do I check if an application has already been submitted?
Please see the "
How do I check if I submitted a Graduation Application
?" section on the
Diploma FAQs for Graduating Students
page for instructions.
What do I do if I don't have sufficient credits?
Contact your academic advisor or program manager for support.
What do I do if my graduation application deadline has passed?
Contact your academic advisor or program manager for support.
Students will receive an email confirmation upon successful submission of a graduation application.
Only a student’s primary major is included in the “Graduation Application Received” email sent to the student after a graduation application is submitted.
