Applying to Graduate
Graduation is the completion of all requirements and official posting of a student's degree to their academic record. Students must file a Degree and Diploma Application (DDA) to initiate this process.
Graduating Senior Checklist
Monitor your Degree Progress
Review your Degree Audit in TritonLink to check progress towards graduation. We recommend you meet with a major, minor (if applicable), and college advisor prior to the start of your final quarter to ensure all requirements will be met.
Verify your TritonLink Records
Verify that your name, permanent address, and major(s)/minor(s) are accurately reflected on TritonLink.

Once you have verified that all requirements will be completed by your intended quarter of graduation, submit a Degree and Diploma Application (DDA) by Friday of Finals Week of your graduating quarter. The last day to file for Summer graduation is the last day of Summer Session II.
To retract or change your DDA, contact Seventh College via the Virtual Advising Center.Register for Commencement (Optional)
