What is the procedure to apply for graduation?
1. Progress Evaluation Two or three semesters before you intend to graduate, pick up from the College office: Graduation Progress Evaluation form Degree Audit Copy of your transcript 2. Meeting with Departmental Adviser Schedule a meeting with your major department(s) faculty adviser(s). Using your transcript and Degree Audit (and Transfer Credit Evaluation if you have transfer work), you and your adviser will fill out the Graduation Progress Evaluation, completing at least the Major and Related sections. Remember that duplicate, developmental and excess credit outside A&S cannot be counted for your degree. After your meeting, the adviser should send the evaluation to the Arts and Sciences Student Services Office. 3. Waivers or Substitutions If you are requesting a waiver or substitution and your adviser agrees, your adviser should submit a request in writing and it should include the signed approval of the department chair for any major or related requirements. Completed request forms
Students need to apply for graduation at http://www.fiu.edu/orgs/register/comm.html. A student must complete a form that details the proper spelling of the name, address of record, and all majors and minors. This process should be completed when the student registers for the final semester. Students are encouraged to have a graduation “check” done before applying for graduation.
