If you need to revise your plan, make sure you are working with an advisor.

If the course is not listed, contact your faculty mentor to seek a substitution approval. If your mentor approves the substitution, remind your mentor to notify graduation@augsburg.edu of the approval so that your degree audit will reflect the approved substitution within a day or two.<\/p>\n After registering for classes, check your degree audit to to make sure that all of your registered courses are fulfilling the intended sub-requirements. If you have any concerns about where the registered courses are appearing on your degree audit, contact your faculty mentor.

If your faculty mentor approves a substitution, remind your mentor to send an email to graduation@augsburg.edu about the approval so that your degree audit will reflect the approved substitution within a day or two.<\/p>\n Regularly review your progress toward meeting graduation requirements by looking at your current Degree Audit under the Degree Progress header in Records & Registration. Contact your faculty mentor or graduation@augsburg.edu about any degree audit concerns.<\/p>\n Occasionally verify your information in Records & Registration under “Student Info\/Contacts.”<\/p>\n Periodically review the first page of your form.

When in doubt, send an email.<\/p>\n Commencement<\/strong> is a ceremony for students to celebrate their academic achievement with friends and family. Participation is optional. Commencement happens either after a student has graduated or before a student has graduated. Students do not graduate during the ceremony, and participating does not guarantee graduation. See the definition of graduation in the next section.<\/p>\n Commencement<\/a> is held at the end of each Spring semester. Information about this year’s ceremony (timing, location, etc.) will be updated on our commencement website<\/a> as details about the ceremony become available.<\/p>\n Only students with an approved Intent to Graduate Form on file in the Registrar’s Office are eligible for commencement. Only commencement-eligible students receive commencement ceremony communication.<\/p>\n If plans change and you want to be eligible for next year’s commencement ceremony rather than this year’s ceremony, you need to officially defer to next year’s ceremony by sending an email to graduation@augsburg.edu. The deadline is the current year’s Commencement Day.<\/p>\n Once the final grades have been submitted for your planned graduation term, Augsburg personnel will review your records to see whether you have met all degree requirements. Graduation<\/strong> (degree conferral) is what happens when your records are updated with a degree date to show that all degree requirements have been met.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n New graduates receive a congratulatory email in their Augsburg account the next morning. If you are <\/span>ordering transcripts<\/span><\/a> to demonstrate degree completion, please wait until you receive this graduation notification to prevent having to order and pay for the final transcript a second time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Typically, the degree date printed on your diploma and transcript will be whichever degree date of twelve is closest to the completion of your final requirements. Augsburg has one degree date per month.<\/p>\n Diplomas are mailed out to everyone having a status of \u201cGraduated\u201d. You will first receive an email and a text from Parchment with instructions for accessing your digital diploma. Parchment will then mail a paper diploma within 3-4 weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n Please make sure that your mailing address, permanent email address, and cell phone number are correct in Records & Registration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Also make sure that all financial obligations and exit loan counseling requirements have been met.<\/span><\/p>\n As a graduate of Augsburg University you will receive invitations to alumni events, the Augsburg NOW, and a monthly e-Newsletter to keep you informed of events at the University and updates on former classmates.
