Select the curriculum for which you are applying to graduate
If you are completing multiple programs (e.g., double major, double/dual degree, or degree plus a certificate), you must submit separate applications for each program of study you will be completing.
Select your term of graduation
This is the term in which you will have officially completed ALL requirements for graduation, including internships, student teaching, etc. For example, if you are taking summer classes to complete your degree requirements, select Second Summer as your graduation term. If you will complete all requirements in Fall, then select the Term: Fall. NOTE: Your term of graduation may be different from the term in which you will participate in commencement! Select as your graduation term the semester in which all program requirements will be met.
Select whether you are planning to participate in commencement
Select the response that best fits your plans at this time. If you are uncertain, please select Undecided. This choice will not restrict you from attending commencement should your plans change.

From the drop-down menu, select a name for your diploma. On the next page you are able to edit the first name, middle name and suffix only and may elect to use a chosen name as part of App State’s chosen first name initiative.
The name you enter on your graduation application will be printed on your diploma; printed on your Marching Order Card; announced and displayed at the commencement ceremonies; and published on university websites including the Commencement site and the Office of the Registrar’s Degrees Awarded page.
If your legal name (as it appears in Banner) is inaccurate and you wish to have it corrected, please complete and submit the Personal Information Change Request form found on our forms page. A copy of your Social Security Card will be required for verification of the name change.
