Application for Graduation

Notice of Change in Process

Effective with the Spring 2010 Semester

Students intending to graduate must submit a completed Application for Graduation to the Office of the Registrar by the due date in the semester preceding the semester they intend to graduate.  The deadline for applying for graduation is printed each semester in the Academic Calendar at www.pvamu.edu/pages/2934.asp

The student should review their academic records with their academic advisor to determine if they are eligible to graduate prior to applying for graduation.
