Applying For Graduation – Undergraduate Students

When to Apply

You must have an expected senior standing at the time of your application. In other words, you need to have 90 or more earned credits. This should occur approximately 2 academic semesters before your anticipated graduation term (please note — the last 30 credits must be earned at UNLV).

Application Instructions

1. Apply for Graduation in MyUNLV

From the Rebel Student Homepage

• Go to Academic Records
• Select Apply for Graduation

Once your application is submitted, the graduation fee will be added to your student account.
You can pay this fee — along with any outstanding tuition or charges — by selecting “Make a Payment” in the My Account tile.

Undergraduate Application Deadlines

• Fall: October 1
• Spring: March 1
• Summer: July 1

Note: Deadlines differ for graduate students. Please refer to Applying for Graduation — Graduate Students below for details.

2. Review Your Academic Requirements

From the Rebel Student Homepage

• Go to Academic Progress
• View Academic Requirements Report

Verify that all remaining requirements can be completed by the end of your intended graduation semester. Not sure about any required courses? Meet with your academic advisor to get the answers you need.

3. Prepare for Commencement

Important Notice: If you do not anticipate completing your degree requirements in the semester for which you applied, please contact the Graduation Team at graduation@unlv.edu.  Failure to do so may block your ability to register or submit an application for a future semester.

A non-refundable $125 graduation and diploma fee will post to your account when you apply to graduate.

The graduation and diploma fee will appear for each degree/certificate, not each major, for which you apply. The fee supports three full-time positions that play a role in reviewing and processing graduation applications. The fee also covers diploma printing and mailing, and a portion of the fee covers the commencement ceremony.

Applicants should send late application requests to graduation@unlv.edu. If approved, the student will also be responsible for paying an additional $20 late fee.
