You must apply for graduation regardless of whether or not you plan to participate in Commencement. In order to ensure that your name appears in the Commencement brochure, you must apply on or before the priority graduation deadline date. Graduation applications submitted by the on-time deadline date will be included in the preliminary certification review conducted by college certifiers. Certification of degrees begin once final grades are posted and can take up to 6 weeks.

You are responsible for checking with your College for additional graduation requirements and any earlier application deadlines they may require.

Please note: Your honors GPA may be different than the GPA you see in OASIS and Degree Works as there are specific requirements which must be met in order to qualify for institutional honors at graduation. Consult with your college advising team for additional questions related to graduating with honors.

Participation in Commencement requires RSVP, which can be done after you officially apply for graduation. See the Commencement tab for more information and visit the official Commencement webpage for additional information and ceremony dates.

If you need to update your diploma address, please complete the Diploma Address Change Request and send to graduation@usf.edu. The diploma address cannot be updated at Commencement.
