Dates & Deadlines

Please remember that the steps to participate in commencement are different from applying to graduate. To learn more about applying to graduate, please see our Steps to Graduation or contact the Office of the Registrar at (509) 358-7530.

IMPORTANT: Participation in the commencement ceremony is not a guarantee or an indication of degree completion. To officially graduate from WSU, students must satisfy all university, college, and departmental requirements for the specific degree.
