Application for Graduation

It is recommended that students formally apply for graduation two academic terms prior to the anticipated completion of their graduation requirements and absolutely no later than one week after the start of the term in which their work is to be completed. The application for graduation is filed through the Office of Academic Records.

Dickinson State University holds commencement exercises one time each year, at the end of the spring term. All students who have satisfied graduation requirements during the previous year, or who would need only six credits or less to complete their degree and will be able to complete those credits during the summer term following commencement, are eligible to participate in the spring graduation exercises.
