Application for Graduation Form

The Application for Graduation form allows students to submit a request to graduate if they are expecting to complete all requirements within the following semester. Accordingly, this form is submitted starting ONE semester (an e-mail will be circulated to call for applications) before the student is expecting to graduate.

For example: If a student is expecting to graduate in the upcoming spring semester (which has not started yet), then the student must submit an Application for Graduation request in the ongoing fall semester in which he/she is enrolled in.

If the student did not complete all the requirements in the expected graduation term, then the application is carried forward automatically by the system for the next term. If the requirements were still not met in the carried-forward term, then a new Application for Graduation form must be submitted by the student.

If the student is enrolled in more than one major, then a separate form must be submitted for each major/program.

Students will state the expected graduation term and the related degree, attach a copy of their ID/passport which clearly shows the spelling of their name in Arabic. For cases where the student’s name in English does not match his/her passport, then a Change of Name and Nationality form must be submitted (to correct the English name) before submitting the Application for Graduation form.

Upon completing all requirements, the Application for Graduation form’s status will remain “In Progress” until all internal checks are completed and your degree is officially awarded on the system.

Once the degree is officially awarded on the system, students will receive an e-mail specifying when they can pick up their official diploma from the Registrar’s Office of their campus.
