Candidate for Graduation List
Filing the application form for graduation places the student on the list of candidates for graduation; it does not guarantee graduation. Any student whose name does not appear on the list, but who intends to graduate,
must check with the Dean's Office of your major to verify his/her status. These lists are available in the Dean's office.
