Applying for Graduation
Students must submit a graduation application through BroncoDirect by the appropriate deadline. Please see timetable below for specific dates. The application is valid only for the quarter for which it is submitted. Students failing to submit their application by the appropriate deadline may be required to graduate in a future quarter.
Effective Summer 2016, the Application for Graduation fee of $59.00 must be paid once the fee is posted on your student account. Failure to pay the Graduation Application fee will prevent your Cal Poly Pomona official transcript and diploma from being released.
