UGA undergraduate students now are required to apply for graduation in the semester they expect to receive their degree. Fall 2015 undergraduate degree candidates must apply by Oct. 22.
Advisers previously initiated the graduation application process for undergraduate students. Students now can apply to graduate on their own by logging into Athena and selecting “Student” and “Apply to Graduate.” Advisers should direct their undergraduate degree candidates to the new application process located at http://www.reg.uga.edu/files/applytograduate/gradappl.pdf.
Undergraduates who complete the application by the deadline will be listed in the Fall Commencement program except students with FERPA restrictions. To appear in the program, students with FERPA restrictions must contact the Office of the Registrar to have the restrictions removed.
For questions or assistance in completing a graduation application, contact the Office of the Registrar at reghelp@uga.edu or 706-542-4040.
