Getting Ready to Graduate? Apply to Receive Your Diploma First
Congratulations, you are finishing your classes and are getting ready to graduate!
The first step is to apply to receive your degree or certificate. Remember, you must complete the Application for Degree/Certificate in order to be awarded your diploma.
To avoid any surprises, we also recommend that you use Degree Check (inside eWOLF) every semester. Here you can verify that you will be completing the requirements for your declared degree program or certificate. You will also verify that you have all the required credits and meet GPA requirements.
