To graduate, all candidates must:

  2. Pay the Graduation Fee to the Registrar's Office after submitting the application
    • PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THE GRADUATION FEE IS NON-REFUNDABLE.

Application for Graduation

Payment of the graduation fee can be:
  • Credit card -- You must submit your payment through the online payment process, or
  • Personal check payable to Midwestern State University, or
  • Cash (only at our counter -- please do not mail cash)
Early application is encouraged to better allow time for a complete records check prior to the enrollment period for the student's last semester.
Any undergraduate student who enters the last semester or summer term in residency without a surplus of five grade points will be admitted with reservation and thereby forewarned that all degree requirements, both qualitative and quantitative, must be met.
 
We are currently accepting applications for graduation for:
Graduation Deadlines
 Expected Graduation Date  Deadline to Apply for Graduation 
August 2025

Final - June 23, 2025
December 2025

Final - September 22, 2025

 

If the date you are seeking is prior to those listed, it means the deadline has already passed and you will need to select the next available date.

If the date you are seeking is after those listed, either check back later or come to the Office of the Registrar.

APPLICATIONS WILL NO LONGER BE DEFERRED TO A FUTURE TERM. You will need to reapply if you do not meet graduation requirements.

 Notes:

  • If ANY part of the total package is missing, your application for graduation will NOT be processed until it is received.  The submission of payment will not be considered until the application forms are received in the Registrar's Office.
  • Response time will vary according to how many applications are received for the semester for which you are applying.  We will work on the most current terms first, then the future semesters.  Generally, if you apply early in the semester before the one in which you are planning to graduate, you will receive the audit before registration ends for your last term.
