Quick Check: Are you Ready for Graduation

Review your Graduate Plan of Study (GPS). Access and review your GPS degree audit for any outstanding degree requirements or other items (holds, milestones, checklists) that you may need help updating or correcting. Enroll in your remaining requirements or reach out to your Graduate Program Director or advisor for questions.  

File your Intent to Graduate (ITG). Check the UCF Academic Calendar for important dates and deadlines. The deadline to submit your Intent to Graduate occurs during the semester preceding the semester you intend to graduate. File your Intent to Graduate form online through myUCF.

Explore the UCF Commencement website. Visit the commencement website for cap and gown information, ticket information, a schedule of events, and additional resources to prepare for your big day. 

Check your UCF email and verify personal information. Your UCF email is the official method of communication for the university. All UCF offices will communicate vital information related to the Intent to Graduate process through your UCF email. For accurate and efficient diploma awarding, verify that your personal information (phone number, email address, mailing address) and academic information in myUCF is current and update it if needed.
