To qualify for graduation, you must first apply for graduation (see deadlines that follow), complete all coursework and examinations (including the Comprehensive Examination), and remove any 'holds' on your records (caused by book fines, unpaid late registration fees, etc.). You must apply for graduation by going to www.suonline.seattleu.edu.
When all degree requirements are met, graduates will have their degrees posted (meaning that 'Master's Degree Requirements Completed' is stamped on your transcript) at the end of the quarter of graduation, and your diploma will be mailed to you in approximately eight weeks. Prior to receiving your diploma, you may request that a letter be sent to you stating that your degree requirements have been completed. This letter is available from the Registrar's office by emailing your request to registrar@seattleu.edu.
Seattle University policy allows graduate students who have six credits or fewer left to complete to participate in commencement ceremonies, held at the end of spring quarter.
Application for graduation must be made by the following deadlines:
| Winter Quarter Graduation: |
October 1 of year prior to graduation |
| Spring Quarter Graduation: |
November 1 of year prior to graduation* |
| Summer Quarter Graduation: |
February 1 of year of graduation |
| Fall Quarter Graduation: |
February 1 of year of graduation |
*Students planning to "Attend Commencement with Deficiencies" must apply for graduation by November 1.
