Office of the Registrar

Applications for graduation must be submitted to the Office of the Registrar. They may be filed up to three terms before the expected graduation term so progress can be monitored each term. Applications must be submitted no later than the end of the second week of the term in which the student plans to complete degree requirements.

Please read the following before using the online application for graduation:

• Undergraduates must have senior standing to be eligible to submit an application.
• The application will display your existing curriculum. If this curriculum is not the curriculum with which you intend to graduate: stop, exit the application, and meet with your advisor to change your program before returning to complete the application.
• Students who wish to change graduation dates or program information after the first application must cancel their existing application for graduation and file a new application in accordance with the stated deadline.
• Students receiving more than two degrees, or more than two majors on a degree, must contact the Office of the Registrar for assistance.

To submit an application for graduation:

Log in to your MyOSU account using your ONID username and password. Under My Student Stuff, click on My Student Records, then click Apply to Graduate.
