Application for graduation process

If you are applying prior to the initial deadline, follow the steps listed below. For late and final applications, contact the Registrar's office.

  1. Contact your college advisor to receive approval to submit your application for graduation. Once approved, follow the remaining steps.
  2. Log in to goWMU with your Bronco NetID and password.
  3. Click the "Apps" navigation item in the top menu bar.
  4. Scroll down to the “For students” app list and select the “Application for Graduation" link. 
  5. Follow the prompts.

You can also find the application by using goWMU's search bar. Simply search “graduation” and click the https://go.wmich.edu/s/article/Apply-for-graduation article. 

After submitting your application, you will receive a confirmation message to your WMU email address, and the applicable fee will be applied to your student account. Your graduation auditor will perform a thorough audit of your academic history. Once the audit is completed (usually within four to six weeks), a confirmation will be sent to your WMU email address with any outstanding requirements.
