Review this information for a detailed step-by-step breakdown on the process.
- File your Intent to Graduate (ITG) form via myUCF – once this step has been completed, your application will be in the “Applied” status and you will become eligible to enroll in either IDS 4939 Senior Seminar – General Studies Capstone [required for the Integrative General Studies major], IDS 4934 Interdisciplinary Studies Capstone [required for the Interdisciplinary Studies major], or EVR 4940 Environmental Studies Capstone [required for the Environmental Studies major] the following day.
- Schedule an appointment to meet with an IDS professional advisor to ensure that you are enrolled in your remaining course work to fulfill program and degree requirements for your major as well as an academic advisor for any minors and/or certificates (if applicable based on program). While this step is not mandatory, it is strongly recommended.
- Follow the directions on the UCF Commencement website to order your cap and gown. Indicate College of Undergraduate Studies when placing your order.
- Mid-way through your graduating semester, the application for graduation will be moved from “Applied” to “Pending” status where it will remain while awaiting final term grades to post.
- Cap and gown pick-up is typically available a week or two before Commencement. During that time period, you may also pick up your Interdisciplinary Studies/College of Undergraduate Studies graduation medallion from the IDS front desk in TCH 239.
- Students will complete their final examinations for their graduating semester and course grades will become available typically the day before or within a few days following Commencement. Degree certification begins after final course grades are posted and typically take one to two weeks to certify all degrees. Due to the intricate nature of degree certification and the volume of graduates each semester it may take several weeks to complete the degree certification process for the university. Final transcripts with the notation that the degree has been certified and conferred will be available once the Registrar’s Office has completed final certification.
- Graduates are expected to receive their diploma at the mailing address provided on the Intent to Graduate form 8-10 weeks after Commencement.
