Graduation
All current students must apply for graduation by completing the Undergraduate Application for Graduation located
on My Illinois State. The application must be submitted, and the graduation fee must be paid by the deadline to be
considered a candidate for degree as well as to participate in the commencement ceremony.
Many students confuse graduation with the commencement ceremony; they are not the same. Graduation is the
official granting of a degree after having met all degree requirements. Commencement is the ceremony recognizing
any degree candidates for the current semester who choose to participate. Graduation does not take place until after
the current semester’s grades are posted which actually occurs after the commencement ceremony.
For more information regarding the Commencement ceremony, please visit the Commencement Web site.
Undergraduates
Submit an undergraduate application for Graduation along with the fee by the deadline date. Refer to the Important Dates for
students for the deadline for submitting the application. The $25 graduation fee is required when applying for graduation, unless
the fee is covered by an approved scholarship. Please verify your scholarship with the Student Accounts Office. Enrolled
students must submit their application on the iCampus Portal during the early part of the semester, on or before the date
specificed in the University Calendar. Non-enrolled students must submit the Undergraduate Application for Graduation in
paper form, or visit the Registrar Service Center in Moulton Hall, Room 107.
Continue checking your Academic Progress Summary and meeting with your academic advisor to ensure you have completed
your degree requirements.
