How to Apply

The May 2024 Graduation Ceremony Cycle is OPEN. The initial deadline to apply is March 15, 2024. (See below for application instructions). All students who plan to graduate in May, to receive a diploma, must submit a graduation application regardless of participation in the ceremony. We must have an application on file for every candidate who plans to graduate in May, no later than noon on April 15, 2024, the final deadline.

Applying for Graduation
Before you begin the graduation application, have the following information ready:

  • Campbell University Issued Student ID number*
  • Degree you are pursuing
  • Major you are pursuing
  • Home Campus location
  • For graduate/first professional level students: Any bachelors/masters degrees earned including: Degree, School and year awarded
  • Contact information: including your phone, email and diploma mailing address
  • The name as you would like for it to appear on the diploma. We highly recommend using your full legal name.*

*Please note due to the security parameters placed on the application, if you mis-key your diploma name or Student ID, you will need to submit a new, corrected, application in order for it to process correctly. Please contact your graduation auditor before submitting an additional application.

Dual Degree Applicants:

Students participating in Dual Degrees – such as MBA/BBA, PharmD/MBA, BA/BBA, etc. – will need to submit two graduation applications (one for each degree). If you have any questions about this, please contact your graduation auditor before you submit an application.

Special Consideration Students who have already participated:

If you were previously approved to participate in a ceremony under a special consideration status (6 Hour Rule, Law 3 Hour Rule, etc), per the paperwork that was submitted and approved for use of the given special consideration status to walk in the ceremony, the student must reapply in their final term to be considered for graduation. A student who participated only in a ceremony under a special consideration status, does not officially graduate until they reapply in their final term of completion and all requirements are completed.

Special Consideration to Participate Only 

Special consideration to participate only in the graduation ceremony (also known as the 6 Hour Rule) is extended to undergraduate candidates with grade point averages of 2.000 or higher in the major and overall GPAs while being within six (6) semester hours of completing all course and hour requirements. To qualify for this special consideration, candidates must have already completed a graduation application first, prior to the deadline, and then file a ‘Request to Participate in Commencement’ form (see button below) in addition to the Graduation Application. Before the Registrar’s Office can execute this form, it must be signed by the candidate, the candidate’s adviser and the appropriate dean. The form also includes information about the candidate’s plan to complete the missing components.

Main Campus Undergraduate students please complete the form, with all required signatures and email it to graduation@campbell.edu. Adult and Online Education students please complete this form with your respective graduation auditor.  Graduate and First Professional students seeking special consideration should contact their program directors. Please Note: This option is only applicable to the May & December Graduation Ceremonies.

Request to Participate in Commencement: 6 Hour Rule Form

If you were previously approved to participate under the “6-Hour Rule” or any version thereof, you will need to reapply to be considered for graduation. You do not officially graduate until you reapply.
