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 is Monday, July 13, 2026.

If you plan to graduate this summer semester, please apply for graduation as soon as possible. If you do not apply by Monday, July 13, but still need to graduate, your application will be charged a $100.00 late application for graduation fine. Alternatively, you have the option to apply next semester and not be charged the $100.00 late fine.

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.

Note: There is no summer commencement. Students are invited to attend the fall ceremony on December 12, 2026.
