Graduation is the process of a degree being awarded. You must apply for graduation, have a degree audit, and meet all degree requirements to graduate.
Commencement ceremonies recognize the academic achievements of graduation candidates. Participation in the ceremony does not guarantee your degree will be awarded.
Note: The final degree audit will begin after final grades post and may take up to 60 days to complete.
Students must apply for graduation BEFORE the deadline indicated for each term in the academic calendar. Students who have not applied for graduation will not be graduated in a given term.
To apply for graduation, you need to access your myUHV Self-Service and click on Degree Progress/Graduation > Apply for Graduation.
You can check your graduation status on your myUHV account by looking at Degree Progress/Graduation
Students who miss the deadline to apply for graduation, can submit an Appeal to Graduate Form within 10 business days after the graduation application closes.
Students must apply for graduation before the deadline indicated for each term in the academic calendar.
