Flexible Option Degree Or Certificate Graduation

Apply for Graduation

Submit your application for graduation. You will be assessed a graduation fee one-time in the Flexible Option Program. The $50.00 non-refundable fee is applied to your student account in SOLAR and must be paid within 10 working days. See details below.

Graduation Audit

The Office of the Registrar will audit your academic record to verify that you have fulfilled all of the required competencies/projects for the degree or certificate you wish to have conferred (graduate).

You must request this audit at the beginning of the subscription period in which you expect to complete the degree or certificate. Send an email to graduation@uwp.edu.

Date Changes

If you are unable to complete the degree or certificate by the end of the subscription period you originally applied to graduate, simply resubmit the application and indicate “I’m changing my graduation date.” There is no additional charge to change your date.
