IU Bloomington Commencement

You Must Apply to Graduate

All degree candidates must apply to graduate in order for recorders and the registrar to confirm final grades, to receive Commencement packets and to have their names printed in the Commencement program.

Each school or department has its own procedure and deadlines for applying for graduation. You may still graduate if you apply after this deadline, but your name will not appear in the Commencement program book. 

If you don’t apply, you won’t graduate. 

Please select your school’s name for more information:

College of Arts and Sciences

Online graduation applications COAS students in the College are available at the College of Arts and Sciences Recorder’s Office.  For more information, please contact the Undergraduate or Graduate Recorder.
