Application for Degree Instructions
- Sign into your Workday Student Account
- Search for "Apply for Program Completion"
- Choose either your legal or, if applicable, your preferred name. This will be the name that is printed on your diploma. (Transcripts will only show the legal name)
- Complete the application. Make sure you change the expected completion date to the end of the semester for which you are applying.
- Pay the graduation fee, which will be posted later to your account. No graduation fees are posted until after the semester (for which you have applied) begins, usually after the deadline to apply. This fee will be added to your fee bill.
Graduation fees are not returned or waived for not meeting graduation requirements. If you do not graduate at the time expected, you must file a new application for degree and pay the applicable graduation fees.
