Ready to Graduate?

Winter commencement will be held on Sunday, December 16, at the Kohl Center. Visit the 2018 Winter Commencement website for details.  See the Information for Graduates section for everything you need to do to prepare.  Keep in mind that you may choose to attend the winter commencement ceremony in December or the spring commencement ceremony in May.

You must apply to graduate through your MyUW Student Center and are encouraged to do this as soon as possible, but no later than November 21. The deadline to apply is November 2 to have your name included in the winter commencement program. Visit the Student Center’s instruction page or watch the demo for assistance.  Please also take a few moments to ensure your mailing address is current in the Student Center.

Additional information about completing your degree can be found on the Graduate School’s “Completing Your Degree” webpage.  EPD will submit the request for your final degree warrant.

Please send an email to studentservices@epd.wisc.edu to let us know if you are planning to attend commencement activities, so we can communicate any additional celebration details.
