Applying for Graduation

Graduation application

Students entering their last semester should complete a graduation application at the time they are registering for those final courses. A final degree audit will be done by the Registrar’s Office only when students have submitted their application.

Commencement information

Detailed information about graduation, including regalia distribution, the awards ceremony, and accessibility requests, is available on the Commencement section of the Goodwin website. Students planning to participate in the annual Commencement ceremony must submit their application electronically by the published deadlines.

The registrar’s office will review and post your degree. Once your degree has been conferred, you will receive an email from Parchment with a congratulatory message and instructions on how to obtain your diploma.

To receive your diploma, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your Parchment account.
  2. Confirm your mailing address.
  3. Parchment will process your request and send your diploma within 10 business days.
