**These Steps are for Undergraduate Students. Graduate Students should contact their department for information on graduation.

STEP 1: Check your Academic Progress Report!

Students are responsible for knowing their graduation requirements. This is easily done by checking your academic progress report. Your academic progress report will show you any unsatisfied requirements. All degree requirements must be satisfied in order to graduate. If you are unsure why a requirement is unsatisfied, please contact your department/academic advisor/department chair or AcademicRecords@scu.edu.

For more information on reading your Academic Progress Report please click here.

STEP 2: Complete your Pre-Graduation Evaluation

If you plan to add or drop a Program of Study, please complete our Program Petition form and collaborate with your department to ensure it is updated in your Academic Progress Report before filling out the Pre-Graduation Evaluation Questionnaire.

Due to scheduled Workday maintenance every Friday night, please ensure all submissions are completed ahead of the Sunday at 11:59 PM PST deadline.

To petition for graduation, please follow the steps outlined in the Apply for Graduation Training Guide, complete the Pre-Graduation Evaluation Questionnaire, and coordinate directly with your department or school for the final evaluation.
