Candidates for the baccalaureate degree must file an application for graduation at least one semester prior to the expected graduation date with the Student Services Center in order to allow time to make up any deficiencies or correct any discrepancies that may delay graduation. At least 90 semester units must be completed before an application for graduation may be submitted. The SJSU Schedule of Classes lists the deadlines for filing applications for graduation. In addition to fulfilling curricular graduation requirements, a student, to be eligible for a bachelor's degree, must have a grade point average of at least 2.0 (C) in each one of the following categories: all college work (the overall average), all units attempted at SJSU, all units in the major, and all units in the minor (if any). Majors may require grades of "C" or better in individual courses, or groups of courses, in the major.
Graduation applications for undergraduates are available at the Student Services Center or in the Academic Forms section of www.sjsu.edu/registrar. Students return their completed graduation application forms to the Student Services Center. Major and minor forms are obtained from the departments and forwarded by departments to Undergraduate Evaluations and Graduation.
Baccalaureate majors in the College of Business are required to make application for graduation through the Business Student Advisement Center (BBC 008). Students should refer to the SJSU Schedule of Classes for deadline dates.
Graduation forms for master's degree candidates are available in Graduate Studies, Student Services Center. See SJSU Schedule of Classes for deadline dates.
Those planning to attend a college or university other than SJSU during the final semester must notify Undergraduate Evaluations and Graduation. Courses must be completed by the date of graduation and transcripts received within one month after graduation or students will be required to submit a date change for the next graduation date.
If a candidate is unable to complete the coursework as expected, or if the date of graduation is to be delayed for any reason, a Change of Graduation form must be submitted, accompanied with the fee, prior to the new expected graduation date.
