APPLICATION FOR GRADUATION INSTRUCTIONS
Undergraduates must be of senior standing before being eligible to submit an application (136 earned credits).
Applications for graduation must be submitted to the Office of the Registrar. They may be filed up to three terms
before the expected graduation term so progress can be monitored each term. However, applications must be
submitted no later than the end of the second week of the term in which the student plans to complete degree
requirements.
Students who wish to change graduation dates or program information after the first application must work with
their advisor and contact the Registrar’s Office via email at graduation@eou.edu.
Students receiving more than one degree will need to submit two applications.
It is the student’s responsibility to follow up on all grades. Students receiving incompletes, or who have not
completed all requirements based on their catalog, will not have their degree awarded.
Degrees are awarded four times per year at the end of each term. Review and posting of degrees takes about 4 to 6
weeks after the end of the term, and diplomas are ordered and mailed 2 weeks after that.
PROCESS: Once your application has been received by the Registrar’s office a degree audit will be completed and
forwarded to your advisor for review. The audit and degree verification will be forwarded to the appropriate dean
for final approval. Your approved verification and audit will be sent to you via your EOU email account.
