How to know if there are problems with your application:

If potential graduates are missing graduation requirements at the time of applying, the Graduation Office will notify students via their myUVU email account. It is the student's responsibility to complete all requirements needed to graduate by the appropriate deadlines.

Approximately 8-10 weeks after the end of the semester, graduation deficiency notices will show in the Degree Information link under My  Registration & Academics in myUVU.

Additional Application Information

Applying for multiple degrees

If a student is wishing to apply for multiple degrees, they will need to fill out a separate application for each degree they are wanting to graduate with. Students will want to fill out the application for the lesser degree first.

Applying for a degree different than declared major

Students wishing to apply for anything besides their declared majors will need to select the "Undeclared (non-Wolverine Track Degree)" option on the 2nd page, titled "Program Options", in the graduation application. On that page, it will give the student the option to choose to apply for their declared major OR "Undeclared (non-Wolverine Track Degree)". Once selected, students will then be taken to the next page where they can select the desired degree. If the student is unsure which catalog year, program or concentration(s) to choose, contact an Advisor or the Graduation Office.
