Whether you are an undergraduate or graduate student, everyone who
intends to graduate must complete the following graduation checklist:
❏
Let us know you are graduating! Complete the
apply to graduate application in the Student Center of My UW. This ensures your name is printed in the commencement program.
All graduates must complete their application by Friday, March 31.
If you have already applied to graduate, are wondering if you have
applied or want to check if your information has been entered correctly,
access the graduation application and make any necessary updates. A
demo is also available.
❏
Get your commencement attire! Check out the University Book Store's
graduation timeline for additional cap and gown details.
❏
Save the date with family and friends! No tickets
are required to attend either commencement ceremony, and there is no
limit to the number of guests a graduate may bring. Be sure to alert
your friends and family about the event dates and times, and direct them
to the
commencement website for information about planning their trip to Madison.
❏
Celebrate! Each school and college will celebrate
its graduates with a recognition event during commencement week. You
will hear more about these events directly from your school or college
as details become available. You can also check our
events page for more details.

Congratulations, soon-to-be graduate! You’re just three months away
from celebrating an achievement that has been years in the making. Next
month, you’ll learn more about the Student Philanthropy Campaign and how
you can get in on a photo opportunity atop one of our campus icons. We
look forward to celebrating with you in May!
