Late Graduation Application

Please follow the instructions below if:

• You are  currently enrolled in your final semester,
• You intend to graduate at the end of this semester, and
• The online graduation application is no longer available.

Since you missed the online graduation application filing deadline, your degree may be awarded later than most of your classmates and receipt of your diploma may be delayed.

Instructions

1. Complete the Late Graduation Application.

• Make sure that this form is completed fully and all required signatures are obtained before submitting to the Office of the University Registrar.

2. Provide Diploma Address

• A separate diploma address must be entered in PatriotWeb. Failure to enter a diploma address will prevent you from receiving your diploma.
• To review the address, please go to the Diploma Mailing Address page and follow the instructions provided.

3. Verify Diploma Name

• Go to the Student Records menu on PatriotWeb.
• Click on the Expected Date of Graduation. The name listed here is your diploma name. If you have a suffix as part of your name in your official student record (i.e., Jr. or III), it will not appear here but will appear on your diploma.
• If the name listed is incorrect, call the Office of the University Registrar at 703-993-2441.

4. Complete Exit Survey

• The final step in applying to graduate is a brief exit survey that asks for your feedback about your Mason experiences.  Please go to https://assessment.gmu.edu/ExitSurvey.html.
