Students must file an Application for Candidacy to Graduate with their school of record before they can participate in the ceremony (diplomas will be issued). Students will RSVP to the ceremony on the Application for Candidacy to Graduate Form.

Instructions for applying for graduation can be found at: http://www.smu.edu/registrar/ACG/ACG_PS_Instructions.asp

Students will be assessed a $45 Apply to Graduate fee approximately six weeks prior to the graduation date.  Students will be notified when the fee is added to their miscellaneous student account.  Students may pay online by MasterCard, Discover, American Express, or check.  They may also pay in person by cash or check at the Registrar’s Office in the Blanton Building.  Fees not paid by the due date will result in a hold placed on the student’s account.

Beginning Fall 2011 a $70 late fee will be applied to a student’s account when the Registrar’s Office receives an Application for Candidacy to Graduate (ACG) after the conferral date noted in the SMU academic catalog. The above fee will be in addition to the standard $45 Apply to Graduate Fee assessed to all graduation candidates.

For questions regarding your degree program and graduation status, contact your Academic Dean's Office.
