September 2024

After you apply for graduation, a stop will be placed on any future registrations unless you have been readmitted to the university or your name has been removed from the graduation list.

When you receive a degree from the university, you are "discontinued" as a student. If you wish to continue as special (non-degree seeking) student, or to work on a second bachelor's degree, you must apply for readmission to the university through the appropriate section of the Office of Admissions.

Once you apply, your academic record will be reviewed throughout the semester by your department, the College of Arts and Sciences, and the FSU Registrar’s Office to ensure you meet graduation requirements. If any issues negatively impacting graduation are identified, you will be notified via your FSU email. Remember, applying for graduation does not guarantee approval for graduation.

Apply for Summer 2025 graduation via Student Central only if you will complete all degree requirements during the Summer 2025 semester.

You should apply for graduation during the second and third week of the term when you will be completing all degree requirements. Please refer to the University Registrar’s Graduation Calendar for specific deadlines and important dates.

Submitting the Graduation Application Online

The FSU Registrar’s Office will place an academic progress check registration hold on your account requiring you to request an academic progress check when you reach 90 hours, including your current enrollment. Submit your College of Arts and Sciences academic progress check request using this submission link as soon as the hold is placed to minimize any delays in registering for courses and to ensure the timely review of your academic records.
