CFA students are no longer required to submit a graduation application, but they must complete this graduation information form. Please confirm your details, indicate whether you plan to attend the May CFA Convocation, provide a phonetic pronunciation of your name, and indicate whether you consent to having your name included in the program.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It is the student\u2019s responsibility to connect with their Academic Advisor to ensure all degree requirements have been met. This form does not guarantee graduation.<\/p>\n

Make sure to log into your MyBU Student Portal<\/a> to update your diploma information (i.e. correct spelling of your name, phone number, and mailing address). This is a requirement in order to receive your diploma after graduation.<\/p>\n

Bachelor\u2019s students may petition to walk in the May Convocation exercises<\/a> only if they are graduating the following August, have applied for August graduation, are registered for their summer courses, and have a maximum of 8 units remaining to complete the degree. Petitions to walk in the graduation ceremony will be reviewed by the School (of Music, Theatre, or Visual Arts) and approved by the Associate Dean of Enrollment & Academic Programs; petitions are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Master\u2019s and doctoral degree candidates must complete all degree requirements before participating in Commencement exercises.<\/p>\n

Note: Latin Honors are awarded for Bachelor\u2019s degrees only.<\/em><\/p>\n
