GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
Application for Graduation
Graduate students must apply for graduation within the
second and the fifth weeks of the semester in which they plan
to graduate. It is the responsibility of the student to initiate and
complete the process for graduation. It is also the responsibility
of the student to notify the Graduate Office if, for any reason,
the graduation process has not been completed.
Graduation Check List
The process for the Application for Graduation is a multistep
process and will take about 1 to 1.5 hours to complete. It
is highly recommended that you contact your major advisor to
schedule an appointment before coming to campus. Complete
the following steps in sequential order.
1. Visit the Graduate Office to obtain an Application
for Graduation, Graduate Survey, and Certification
for Graduation form. A review of your file will be
made at that time to ensure you have completed all
requirements for the master’s degree program. You
will be informed of any deficiencies at that time and if
a hold will be placed on your diploma.
2. Take the Certification for Graduation form, a
copy of your transcript (can be printed from
CampusConnect), and current enrollment to your
advisor for graduation clearance.
3. After your advisor has completed and signed the
Certification for Graduation form, return all of the
information to the Graduate Office.
4. If you are eligible for graduation, the Graduate
Office will approve your graduation and give you a
Graduation Clearance Note.
6. Take the Graduate Clearance Note, along with
a copy of your Application for Graduation, to the
Business Office to pay the graduation fee. You will
receive a receipt for the Registrar’s Office and a
representative of the Business Office will sign the
appropriate area of your Clearance Note. (Keep the
Clearance Note at this time.)
7. Take the Graduate Clearance Note, to the Financial
Aid Office to gain clearance. If you have completed
the exit requirements, a representative of the
Financial Aid Office will sign the appropriate area
of your Clearance Note. (Keep the Clearance Note
at this time.) If you have not completed the exit
requirements, the Financial Aid Office will notify you
at this time.
8. Take the Application for Graduation, Business Office
receipt and the Clearance Note to the Registrar’s
Office.
9. You will receive a letter from the Registrar’s Office
informing you of graduation practice, graduation time
and date, and how to purchase a cap and gown.
You may also check the website (www.SE.edu) or
BlackBoard for this information approximately two

weeks after graduation if you have met all of the requirements
for a master’s degree program at Southeastern Oklahoma
State University. If you have any questions, please contact the
