Application for Graduation

All students desiring to graduate must apply for graduation. Students applying for the bachelor degree should do so by the appropriate deadlines for graduation. The deadlines for each graduation are listed below:

     September 15 for December graduation (no graduation ceremonies)
     November 15 for April graduation (graduation ceremonies held in April)
     February 15 for June graduation (no graduation ceremonies)
     February 15 for August graduation (no graduation ceremonies)

In order to apply for graduation, students must have an active ecclesiastical endorsement covering the semester in which they plan to have their degree awarded. Students access the online graduation application through the "Apply for Graduation" link in the "School Menu" on MyBYU. After submitting the online graduation application, the student account will be charged a one-time $15.00 fee for graduation and the student will be instructed to contact their individual college advisement center (if applicable) to finish the graduation application process. Students will be notified of the status of their graduation application via email.

Students who apply after the deadline dates will need to contact their college advisement center to be considered for graduation. Graduation Services will notify students of graduation deadlines and procedures via email.

Deadlines for Transfer, Correspondence, and Incomplete Credit

All incomplete grades must be removed from the student's record, special examinations must be passed and recorded, and all transfer credit for required classes must be on file in the Registrar's Office at least four weeks before the official university graduation day. Any BYU Independent Study coursework (including finals) needed for graduation must be completed at least three weeks before the official university graduation day.

MyMAP

BYU offers students a helpful academic planning system (MyMAP) that enables them to plan their academic progress towards graduation. MyMAP is an online tool students may use to plan specific courses to fill University Core, major, minor, and elective requirements, and organize those courses into semesters/terms. In addition, students may register for these courses using the Register tab. Easy access to course descriptions can be found on any MyMAP tab by simply clicking on the course title. As a student fully utilizes MyMAP, they will find that they have important information at their fingertips. Students may access MyMAP under the School section of MyBYU.
