Applying for Graduation - Armadillo1 - 03-07-2025

I'm a little confused about when to apply for graduation. I only need the 10 courses for residency and am registered to start Mar 10th at the beginning of Spring II. I need 4 classes for the actual degree, and then 6 other random courses to complete the residency requirement. I' already have the classes approved and choose the easiest for me classes I can find. I'm hoping that I can complete all 10 courses in just 1 term. When do I apply for graduation?

Also when can I start applying for grad school?

To graduate in the spring, you have to apply by March 31st.

And then 6-8 weeks for actual conferral after the end of the term?

Approximately correct.

@Armadillo1 - You can apply for grad school, but you won't get any responses for admission until you've conferred, unless those are programs with conditional acceptance and you've given them all the classes you've completed through other colleges, universities, etc. They need the whole package before they admit you, basically, you need to meet most, if not all the entry requirements...

@panda02 - Two classes to start off, once you're close to being done, ask for a third and more classes. They can't and won't add all 10 classes to your session dashboard until you've gotten so far with it. Basically, you've got to progress through them accordingly, when done, you level up to extra classes at a time until you finish the degree and residency requirements.
