If you plan to graduate this year, you will need to apply for graduation. Run a degree audit via your Buff Portal, and verify requirements for all degrees, majors and minors will be completed if you plan to graduate this spring. Summer graduates are encouraged to do the same.
Now that you've submitted your graduation application, schedule an appointment to meet with your advisor to confirm and review your degree requirements. You can schedule an appointment through Buff Portal Advising.
