Even as a new semester begins, undergraduate students who will be graduating as of May 2026 and who have not yet filed online to graduate should do so as soon as possible.
Undergraduates who will complete requirements in the Spring 2026 semester should file no later than Wednesday, Oct. 1, 2025 to ensure their name to be listed in the commencement program. Please note –- if a student needs summer courses to complete degree requirements, they should file as August graduates, but are eligible to participate in the May ceremony, regardless of how many credits are to be taken over the summer.
To apply for graduation online, students must do the following:
- Access http://oswego.edu/myoswego
- Sign in and select the Student Records link. From the registration link select “Apply to graduate.” Before you can apply for graduation, you will need to select the Curriculum term (usually current term), and then follow the prompts for applying for the correct (future) graduation term. Please note, if you are unable to apply online for graduation, contact the Graduation Area of the Registrar’s Office, registra@oswego.edu, for help in doing so.
- Once a student has applied to graduate, undergraduate students must meet with their advisor for each of their major(s) and minor(s) and complete a Senior Check Form to be submitted to the Registrar's Graduation Area, by the appropriate deadline. The Senior Check Form is mandatory for graduation.
Senior check forms for students graduating in May should only be completed after a student has applied for graduation and are due back to the Registrar’s Office no later than December 1, 2025. Senior check forms for August graduates are due April 1, 2026. Please note that senior check forms are mandatory for graduation for undergraduate students for all majors and the Honors Program.
