Applying For Graduation
The ultimate responsibility for completion of a degree/certificate program rests with the student. Lack of knowledge or misinterpretation of policies and regulations by students does not absolve them from fulfilling the requirements of a degree/certificate.
SAU Tech has one commencement ceremony each May. Students who complete their graduation requirements in August or December will participate in the annual spring commencement ceremony. A student who plans an August or December graduation must apply no later than the last day to register for the summer or fall terms. All students must apply for graduation no later than December 1st for commencement.
Applying for graduation includes:
- Completing the application for graduation form(s) with an advisor;
- Settling all financial and other obligations with SAU Tech.
Failure to complete any step of this process may result in postponement of the student's graduation. Students are encouraged to consult with an advisor on a regular basis to ensure that all graduation requirements are being met.
Candidates for degrees/certificates must participate in the commencement exercises unless excused by the Registrar.
A candidate who fails to graduate on the date stated on the initial application for graduation must complete a new application form and pay the graduation fee during the semester or term in which the degree/certificate will be completed.
