Applying to graduate

Fall 2025 graduation filing deadline: October 1, 2025

You must file for graduation through My ASU or in the graduation office by October 1 in order for your name to appear in the commencement program ($100 filing fee and $25 for each additional concurrent degree). A late fee of $35 will apply if filing after the October 1 deadline.

NOTE: Applying to graduate with the university (and paying the fee) is separate from participating in ceremonies. By applying to graduate, you are telling the university that you have completed all your degree requirements and are ready to graduate. Then, to celebrate your accomplishment, you can opt to participate in graduation ceremonies.
