I understand any incomplete, missing or non-approved CHANGED information may result in graduation DENIAL. I understand that
I am responsible for knowing and meeting the degree requirements and that advising is here to assist me with meeting this
responsibility. At the beginning of my final semester, I will review my Degree Works audit to insure that all requirements are met,
including hours earned. With approval of my Department Advisor, I WILL complete the online graduation application form. I know
that I must register separately to attend Commencement and/or the Induction to the Profession graduation ceremonies. I will read
overleaf for additional information.

Students keep a copy of the checklist and this page for your records.
Check before Graduation
Grades: All incomplete "I" grades must be cleared. Note: All "I", "IF", and "M" grades turn to a permanent "F" at
graduation. Inform your professors that this is your graduating semester so all of your grades are submitted
on time. Check your GPA and grades in OASIS.
Transferring Appropriate transfer courses must be approved and posted to your record well in advance of your
Courses: graduation. Taking courses at another institution during your graduating term is discouraged. If you must
take degree required courses at another institution during your graduating term, immediately after you
receive your grades, electronically submit a transcript or pick up and hand-deliver a sealed transcript to
Silvia Martinez in Engineering Student Services, ENC 1302. Failure to post your transfer credit in a timely
manner will result in denial of graduation.
Accelerated Students in the Accelerated Graduate (5 year) Program must complete the Accelerated Program
Grad. Prog.: Progression Application with this graduation checklist form for the Bachelor’s degree. The form is available
online at http://www.grad.usf.edu/accelerated.php
.
Graduation Ceremonies:
University: Students must register to participate in the University Commencement Ceremony. Visit
http://www.usf.edu/commencement/
for all official USF commencement information and instructions.
College: Students will receive an invite to attend the College of Engineering Induction to the Profession. You must
respond to the invite and register for the ceremony to attend. Please contact the Deans Office at (813)
974-3782 for more information. Note: The Induction to the Profession ceremony is held in the fall and
spring only. Students graduating in summer may attend the ceremony in May or December.
Cancelling Graduation:
We encourage students to cancel their graduation application with Engineering Student Services ASAP if - for any reason
- you will not complete your degree requirements. Remember to reapply as there is no automatic rollover for graduation
applications! Note: International students cannot cancel their graduation if all requirements for the degree have been met
the semester they have applied for without express approval of an International Services advisor.
Certification of Graduation:
Students participating in graduation ceremonies are doing so before graduation certification is finalized. All potential
graduates are subject to final approval or denial by the College of Engineering. This final certification is completed after
semester grades are posted. Grades are posted one week after the graduation ceremony. If your degree was certified, you
will be notified via USF e-mail and your diploma will be mailed to you by the Registrar's Office approximately eight weeks
after commencement.
Denial of Graduation:
Denial notifications are sent via e-mail, so continue to check your USF e-mail after the term has ended. If you are denied
graduation, it is your responsibility to reapply for graduation the next semester you are eligible and by the deadline dates.
There is no automatic graduation application roll-over. You must fill out a new application and checklist each time.
International Students:
It is your responsibility to know the rules and regulations for credit hours that you must take to stay in compliance with your
student visa each semester until you graduate. It is not the department’s responsibility to know these regulations or to
enforce them. International students who do not follow regulations may find that they may be required to retroactively enroll
for needed credit hours in order to stay in compliance. There will be NO tuition waivers granted in these cases. It is up to
you to know the rules for your program. You must check with International Services regarding USCIS regulations.
If you have questions, ask!
Note: International students cannot cancel their graduation if all requirements for the degree have been met the semester
they have applied for without express approval of an International Services advisor.
