If you do not see the graduation fee posted on your account, please email the Office of the Registrar at graduation@georgiasouthern.edu.  Students completing two degrees on the same date will only pay $35.

Your degree will not be awarded if you have not paid the graduation fee.

ACTIONS THAT CAN PREVENT GRADUATION

• Withdrawing from (“dropping”) a required course.
  
• Receiving a failing grade in a required course or receiving a grade below that required by the program.
  
• Changing one’s major or degree program.

THINGS TO REMEMBER

• After applying for graduation, if a student changes their completion term, either to move it forward or to delay it to another term after application, the Registrar’s Office must be notified of the change. Candidates must email graduation@georgiasouthern.edu to have their graduation term updated.
  
• All grade changes for incomplete and in-progress courses must be submitted to the Registrar’s Office within 60 days after grade processing of the graduation term. It is the student’s responsibility to contact the instructor in order to complete the requirements for the course. Any “I” or “IP” grade(s) will prevent degree conferral.
