The priority application deadline for May 2004 graduation is Friday, Feb. 20. To apply, students need to stop by their Dean's office and complete a graduation survey and pick up an application to graduate. The completed application form needs to be dropped off at the Registrar's Office in Silas Hunt Hall (at the corner of Maple and Garland). At that time, students will pay a fee to cover expenses associated with graduation such as the printing and mailing of diplomas.

Graduate students planning on graduating in those semesters who wish to participate in commencement activities need to contact the Graduate School at (479) 575-4401 for further details.
