How to Apply for Graduation

All undergraduate students who wish to graduate must officially apply for graduation by the appropriate graduation dates and deadlines. Students should apply for the graduation date that coincides with the time when they anticipate all their coursework will be completed.

In order to apply for graduation, students must have an active ecclesiastical endorsement covering the graduation for which they plan to apply.  If you do not have an ecclesiastical endorsement covering the graduation you plan to apply for, please click on the “Get a Bachelors Endorsement Form here” link on the online graduation application. Students access the online graduation application through the “Apply for Graduation” link in the “School Menu” in myBYU.  After submitting the online graduation application, the student account will be charged a one-time $15.00 fee for graduation, and students will be instructed to contact their individual college advisement center to finish the graduation application process.  Students who plan to obtain teacher licensure must also contact the McKay School of Education Student Service Office before the application is complete.  Students will be notified of the status of their graduation application via e-mail.

Students who apply after the deadline dates will need to contact their college advisement center to be considered for graduation.  Graduation Services (B-150 ASB) will notify students of graduation deadlines and procedures via email.  This email will also verify how the student’s name will appear on the diploma. If the diploma name is spelled incorrectly, students should reply to the email or contact the Graduation Services located in B-150 ASB, (801) 422-7675.
