An Application to Graduate must be completed through the Web site with the Office of the Registrar by September 8 of each year by each student who expects to graduate at the Autumn Convocation.

Graduate students must comply with the Application to Graduate process as set out by the School of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies and available at http://grad.uwo.ca/current_students/regulations/9.html

The onus is on students to verify, on their Application to Graduate, the degree and program of study to appear on their diplomas and transcripts. Applicants must inform the Registrar, in writing, if they wish to change their name, to question their degree designation, or to postpone their graduation.

Students who fail to meet the requirements for the specified degree and program of study will not graduate at the specified Convocation and should consult the Dean of  their Faculty regarding alternative graduation possibilities.

Upon receipt of Applications for Graduation, the Office of the Registrar will review the academic records to identify and advise those students who will not be eligible to graduate even with the successful completion of courses in which they currently are enrolled.
