Overview

 Degree Audit/Graduation General Information

At the beginning of your final semester, you will need to start thinking about graduation. You must graduate from your program in order to be eligible for certification. Students are advised to apply for graduation within the first two weeks of the semester the students intend to graduate.

Commencement is different from graduation. Commencement is the ceremony that is scheduled twice a year to confer degrees. Graduation is the actual completion of your program, with all final grades submitted and all program and admission requirements met. The Degree Audit Division of the Registrar’s Office processes the final audits and officially posts graduation. Hunter recommends you for certification once your graduation is officially posted. General questions about commencement should be directed to Mary Michael, Vice President of Student Affairs.

Print out the appropriate Degree Audit Application Form (DAAF) and bring the completed form to the Office of Educational Services (1000 West).

Graduate Education Students: Graduate DAAFs are available online. When you submit your DAAF, do not attach memos, unofficial transcripts or score reports. They need to be processed separately.

• Adolescent Education students must first get their subject department advisor’s signature and stamp .
• Students in all other programs can submit their completed DAAFs to Room W1000 directly.

Undergraduate Education Students: Print out the GER form from the Registrar’s web site.  You will also need to complete the DAAF attachment for your program. Once you get the appropriate signature/stamp on the GER DAAF, submit it with the DAAF attachment to the School of Education (3 pages total).

Memos from the department or program coordinators must be submitted separately by the department to Records in Room N217.
