Intent to Graduate

Since this form is used to check completion of requirements, order diplomas, and enter students in the commencement program, it must be filed according to published deadlines. Beginning August 1, 2007, a fee of $60.00 is required at the time the intent is filed. Students who fail to graduate as scheduled must resubmit their intent to graduate and repay all applicable fees.
