Graduation

Apply for Graduation

You must submit an application for graduation online (per degree) in order for your degree(s) to be awarded.

If you have less than 30 units remaining to complete your degree requirements and your major(s) and minor(s) are correct on your record, you may apply for graduation.

We recommend you apply for graduation the semester before you intend to graduate (the semester in which you complete your course work). Only the next four calendar year terms are available to select in the application. If you will not complete your degree within one of those terms, you will remain eligible to apply until your term becomes available.

Any questions can be directed to our department's academic advisor, Kathryn Gallien (kgallien@email.arizona.edu).

Deadlines to Apply

Spring and Summer graduates: February 1st of the intended semester.
Fall and Winter graduates: September 1st of the intended semester.

Graduation Ceremonies

History graduates can join in the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences Convocation, held every fall and spring, and in the university-wide Spring Commencement. In addition, the Department of History is one of the very few departments on campus that chooses to honor its graduates with their own commencement program every spring.
