Are you planning to graduate this semester?

If so, please follow the steps below to ensure that you will be included on the Graduation List:

  • Petition Due Date for December Graduation is October 15.
  • Petition Due Date for May Graduation is March 15.
  • Petition Due Date for August Graduation is June 15.
  1. Review your Degree Evaluation from Degree Works to confirm that all degree requirements will be met by the end of the Fall/Spring/Summer semester. To do this, view the "Graduation Checklist" view to identify any missing requirements. 
  2. Complete the online Petition to Graduate form.
  3. The Registrar's Office will review Degree Works and forward your petition to your advisor with their comments; your Delhi e-mail address will be copied on this message. Your advisor will let us know if they agree with our assessment and/or if they approve any needed substitutions or waivers, or if they know that transfer credit is pending.

Note

  • If the Degree Evaluation indicates that all requirements are not met, please review the outstanding issue(s) with your advisor. Discuss with your advisor if a waiver or substitution is appropriate or if additional coursework is necessary. Take appropriate action.
  • If you are transferring courses or need substitutions/waivers to complete your degree requirements, they must be received by:
    • June 30 for May graduates,
    • September 30 for August graduates, and
    • January 30 for December graduates.
  • If your all documents (final grades, transcripts, substitutions, waivers, etc.) are not received by the listed deadline, your degree will not be awarded and you will have to apply for a future degree term.

Common Issues

  1. Missing the Orientation/Freshman Seminar course: If you changed majors and the requirement was completed under a different subject heading or you are a transfer student and it is not necessary for you to complete this requirement, you will need to discuss the possibility of a substitution or waiver with your advisor.
  2. Every Group appears to be complete but you do not have the required minimum GPA. Undergraduate students must have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 and Graduate students must have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 to graduate.
