1. Meet with Advisor
Students may use the Degree Audit Reporting System
to check their progress toward a degree. We encourage each student to meet with
their Extended Campus advisor to discuss the report and plot a course for clearing
up any outstanding course work issues.
2. Submit Degree Application
Any student seeking a degree from PSU must apply for the degree. Undergraduate
degree application forms are due two terms prior to the
anticipated graduation date. Please visit
http://pdx.edu/registration/degree_application.html
to find deadlines and to complete the Degree Application form.
3. Register for Commencement (OPTIONAL)
Commencement refers to the graduation ceremony. Commencement is not required, but
is an option for those who wish to participate. Visit the
Commencement
web site to register and find information about Commencement. You may participate in
one of two Commencement ceremonies:
Spring Commencement (June): for winter, spring or summer graduates
Summer Commencement (August): for summer or fall graduates
Online registration for Spring Commencement begins in late January. Students will have the opportunity to order their cap, gown, and PSU regalia through the Portland State Bookstore.
4. Attend to any outstanding balances and grade issues
Diploma holds are placed on all students with an outstanding balance. Diplomas
and transcripts will not be released while a student has an unpaid balance. Once
the balance is paid, contact the Office of
Business Affairs for a release form. Additionally, all course work should be
completed and final grades recorded to ensure smooth processing of your degree
application and diploma disbursement.
