Application for Graduation
Form
You must complete an Application for
Graduation (use hotlink
above to access form) and turn it in to the University Registrar’s Office
before Friday of the third week of the quarter you intend to graduate. This
initiates the degree audit process and begins the records preparation and
diploma ordering process to prepare for your graduation. If you miss the
deadline, see your Academic Dean for their determination as to whether you can
be added to the degree-candidate list late. Their deadline is no later than
Friday of the fifth week of the quarter.
You must also order a cap and gown at the University
Bookstore. This must be accomplished prior to Friday of the sixth week of the
quarter you intend to graduate.
The Application for Graduation will be sent to your academic dean’s office to
inform them that you expect to complete your degree requirements this quarter.
Your academic record will be reviewed along with your degree plan (plan of
study). If there is a problem, your academic department or dean’s office staff
will contact you. Please see the University Catalog under which you are
graduating to review academic and residency requirements for associate,
baccalaureate, masters, and doctoral degrees. The catalog also contains the
criteria for conferral of the baccalaureate degree with Latin
honors.

ALL
DEGREE CANDIDATES ARE EXPECTED TO ATTEND THE CEREMONY.
If circumstances make this impossible, you are required to write a letter of
explanation to the University President requesting to be absent. If you wish to
have your diploma mailed to you, please include a $10.00
mailing fee and your mailing address in your letter to President Reneau. (The
$10.00 mailing fee covers items sent within the United States
only.) Address your letter to:
President Daniel D. Reneau
P.O. Box 3168 TS
Ruston, LA 71272 |
TRANSFER CREDIT:
If you will be taking a course at another school during your final
quarter, we will need to have verification from that school of your final grade
in the course before you will be allowed to participate in commencement
ceremonies. You will be allowed to participate in the graduation ceremony
ONLY if your dean’s office certifies you as eligible
to graduate. Further, we must receive the official transcript from the
other school before you can obtain your diploma.
