Graduation Checklist
Follow the graduation checklist to file for graduation and to participate in the graduation ceremony. This checklist must be completed to be eligible to participate in the graduation ceremony. Apply early to ensure you receive all of the information for the graduation ceremony.
- Meet with your program faculty advisor to review award requirements and to discuss whether you will complete award requirements at the conclusion of the semester.
- Complete the online Application for Award eform for each degree, diploma, or certificate you are applying.
- If you would like to participate in the Commencement Ceremony, check the box on the eform.
- Verify that your most current mailing address is on file through your eServices account.
- If you are planning to test out of a course, all test-outs must be scheduled, completed, and transcripted before the deadline.
- Course transfers must be transcripted before the deadline. If you are transferring courses from another college or transferring an articulated course, you should confirm that your transfers have been completed by printing a DARS audit. If you have courses from another Minnesota State institution that have not been transferred, submit an eTranscript Retrieval form. Please contact the Transfer Center with any questions.
