Congratulations Seniors! Graduation is near.

Preparing to graduate takes time and planning.  Carefully review the following deadlines and instructions required for the graduation process.

Last Day to File for Graduation

  • Summer 2024 - April 3, 2024 
  • Fall 2024 - July 3, 2024 
  • Spring 2025 - November 6, 2024

Students designing their own degree must have an approved baccalaureate contract by the stated deadlines. 

Additionally, students seeking alternative credits through ELC, CLEP, DSST, etc. must have credits posted to their University of Memphis transcript prior to being issued a permit for the UNIV 4995 Senior Project. 

UNIV 4995 can only be taken in the final semester of course work and permits will not be issued if alternative credits have not been posted to the transcript. 

Note: The above requirements must be met in order to remain on the appropriate graduation list.

Apply to Graduate

Once your advisor reviews and approves your graduation plan, a permit for your Senior Project course (UNIV 4995) will be issued. Please be patient with your advisor as your plan needs careful review. Permits are issued  between the last day to apply to graduate and up to the start of your final semester.

Check your UofM email regularly for your Graduation Agreement Packet

Packets will be emailed to qualified students starting the day after the graduation application deadline.  Once you complete this packet and return it to our office, this will be the final step in the College of Professional & Liberal Studies graduation process.

Students who missed the deadline to file for graduation or need to update their graduation to a different semester must submit a request to the graduation analyst. Please do not complete this form if you are not a current student or if you have not yet been admitted/readmitted to the University.
