Dear Bobcat,

Did you know graduation is not automatic? You must apply to graduate for your degree, major, minor, or certificate to be awarded, even if you are not planning to participate in a commencement ceremony. The deadline to apply for Spring Semester 2026 graduation is Monday, February 16, 2026.

If you plan to graduate this spring semester, please apply for graduation as soon as possible. If you do not apply by Monday, February 16, but still need to graduate, you will be charged a $100 late application for graduation fine. Alternatively, you have the option to apply next semester and not be charged the $100.00 late fine.

If you would like to walk in the Spring commencement ceremony, but plan to finish your requirements to graduate this summer semester, apply now. Choose major/minor/certificate and select will complete later, then choose Summer 2025-26.

Any applicable graduation application fees will be charged to your student account after the successful submission of your application. Note that fees might not appear immediately. You may pay fees through your MyOHIO Student Center. Payment is not required at the time of application, but failure to pay any fees assessed to your account could create delays in receiving your diploma.

You may apply for graduation in your MyOHIO Student Center. For detailed instructions and other graduation information, please visit the graduation website.

Once you have successfully applied for graduation, you will receive a confirmation via email. If you have already received an email with your confirmation, then your application is complete. If you have any questions, please contact the University Registrar’s Office at graduation@ohio.edu or 740.593.4196.
