Apply to Graduate
Login to your Student Center on MyCSUSM and locate the 'Apply for Graduation' field under Academics (see below). Follow the prompts and select the appropriate term for graduation.
It is highly recommended that you meet with your academic advisor prior to your last semester, in order to review your records and ensure all graduation requirements will be met. Students should also review their Academic Requirements Report (ARR) via their Student Center in MyCSUSM to verify completion of all requirements.
Please note: If your application is not submitted by the deadlines indicated below, (for a spring graduation) your name will not appear in the Commencement program and there may be a delay in conferring your degree.
