Only Master students in the College of Education may not apply for graduation unless they have previously submitted a Graduation Check Request Form (PDF).

Graduation Checks for all Undergraduates and Masters (excluding Masters in College of Education) will be done automatically. Students do not have to complete a Request for Graduation Check Form.

The Application for Graduation fee of $56.00 must be paid after submitting your Graduation Application online.  Failure to pay the Graduation Application fee will result in a hold placed on the student's record, which will prevent future registration in Cal Poly Pomona classes or the ability to receive a Cal Poly Pomona official transcript and diploma.
