  You will now be directed to the Graduation Application. Please complete each screen per the below steps:
  

• Current Curriculum Selection
  Select the current term of your curriculum. This will generally be either the current term or most current term listed. Note: This is not your graduation term, you will pick that on another screen.
  
  
  Upon selecting the Curriculum Term, your academic program(s) will be listed below. Select the Program for which you are applying to graduate and click Continue. If your program information appears to be incorrect, please do not proceed with the Graduation Application and instead contact the Registrar’s Office ([email protected]).
  

• Graduation Term
  Select the semester of your expected graduation. This is the date you intend to earn your degree, not the commencement ceremony date.

  
  
  After that selection, you will be asked if you plan to attend the annual May commencement ceremony. Click Continue once you have made your selection.
  
  
  
• Select a Name for your Diploma
  Please make sure to select Current Name and not Alfred University Username. The last name on your diploma must correspond to the legal last name on file with the University.  As a result, you cannot change your last name while filing the Graduation Application. If you need to change your last name in the University system, submit your application then contact the Registrar’s Office ([email protected]).

  

  You will then be given the option to confirm or edit your First Name. You may list a chosen first name on a diploma. However, if you intend to work or continue your education overseas, many employers and institutions will expect your diploma to match your other legal documents. Once entered, click Continue.

• Graduation Application Summary
  The next page will be a summary of your graduation application. Please verify this information before clicking Submit Request. If you need to edit any information, please click the Back button.

• Acknowledgement
  You will then receive a message confirming that your Application for Graduation has been received.
