Students that apply for graduation will not be eligible to register for subsequent semesters without being admitted to a new degree program. Students that wish to change their graduation semester after they have applied must contact the graduation office and must reapply for graduation for their new intended semester of graduation prior to the conferral date of their original graduation semester.
Students apply for graduation for the semester in which they are completing their final courses.
All requirements must be completed prior to the degree conferral date.

Check your application status from your My ASU page. Your status will be one of the following:
Your application for graduation has been received and is being processed. Review your Degree Audit Report or your Plan of Study regularly to ensure that all requirements will be met by your degree conferral date. Unless you are denied or withdrawn, your status will appear as applied until your degree is posted.
Undergraduate students pursuing concurrent degrees must apply for graduation and complete all requirements for both degrees in the same semester. You will receive a diploma for each degree completed. Contact your academic advisor to remove a concurrent degree from your academic record.
Minors and Certificates will be noted on your transcript when your degree is conferred. The University does not issue a diploma for either minors or certificates, but these may be issued by your college - check with your college or ask your advisor if you have questions.
Students who are only completing a certificate must apply for graduation, but do not pay the application fee and will not receive an RSVP for any University ceremonies.
Undergraduates students must complete all requirements on their degree audit and unmet requirements for either a minor or certificate will prevent their degrees from being awarded (even if all requirements for their major are met). Students should contact their academic advisor to remove a minor or certificate from their degree audit.
Students who have completed all degree requirements after the completion of session A courses can choose to have their degree conferred early.
If your degree cannot be conferred for session A, then it will be reviewed again at the end of the semester (after session B & C).
Use the Graduation Letter Request form to request a Completion or Pending Letter from the Graduation Office. Requests can be submitted at any University Registrar Services location. Please allow two full business days (48 hours) for processing.
Students that have applied to graduate can generate a Graduation Invitation Letter that can be given to family members who need a visitor visa to attend your graduation ceremonies.
If your application is denied or withdrawn, you may need to reapply for the semester your requirements will be completed. No fee is required to reapply.
