Be Certain You Are On Track For Graduation 

Applying for graduation is a University Degree Requirement that must be met by each student wishing to graduate. If you do not apply for graduation, you have not met all your degree requirements.

You must always apply for graduation by the published deadline in order to have your degree certified and awarded, whether you choose to attend the commencement ceremony or not.
