Graduation – Filing

October 31, 2019

Before Filing your Intent to Graduate:

Verify that your personal and academic information in your myUCF portal is current, and update it if needed.

Specifically:

  • Majors, double majors & double degrees Make sure that all of your correct majors appear in your myUCF page. If there are any errors, you will need to contact COSAS@ucf.edu or your Regional Campus office to add/drop any degree programs.
  • Minors and certificates Make sure that all of your correct minors and certificates appear in your myUCF page. If there are any errors, you will need to contact COSAS@ucf.edu to add/drop any degree programs.
  • Address & phone number You must update your correct mailing address and preferred phone number in myUCF and save the changes.
  • Email address Your UCF email is perhaps the most important piece of information to check because this is how COSAS will be communicating with your about the intent to graduate process. You must check your UCF email address frequently as COSAS will be emailing you periodically about the status of your Intent to Graduate form.

Meet with your major advisor (and minor/certificate advisor if applicable) for a final check of your degree audit to make sure you will meet the major/minor/certificate requirements. You may be required to do so before your Intent is approved. Be sure you have planned your final term schedule before attempting to file your Intent to Graduate. You do not need to be registered for your final term courses before your Graduation Review Appointment, but it is strongly recommended to do so.

You cannot be enrolled at another institution during your graduating term.

 

How to File Your Intent to Graduate

  • Step 1: Register for your course(s)
  • Step 2: Please ensure that you are meeting the necessary degree requirements by reviewing the degree audit(s) for all declared program(s).
    • To access myKnight Audit, simply login to your myUCF account and go to “Student Self Service”> select “Student Center” > “Other Academic…” drop-down menu > choose “Degree Audit/myKnight Audit” to view your audit. More information on how to access the degree audit is located at https://registrar.ucf.edu/myknight-audit/.
    • We recommend that you save or print your degree audit for future reference.

    • You must file a separate graduation application for each of your major(s) and certificate(s).
      • You do not need to file a separate graduation application for minor(s).
    • Please be sure to complete the University surveys.
  • Step 4: Go to https://sciences.ucf.edu/cosas/gradform and fill out the graduation questionnaire.
    • A current degree audit is required to complete this form.
    • This is the graduation questionnaire needed to complete your graduation “Advisor Appointment.”
  • Step 5: Know your UCF email address and how to access it.
    • All graduation information, request, and updates will only be sent to your UCF email account
  • Step 6: Verify your personal information in myUCF is correct.
    • You can verify the information record with the university by navigating to myUCF > Student Self Service > Personal Information > Personal Information Summary

 

A Few Reminders to Help Your Graduate on Time

*** You MAY NOT be transient (take courses at another institution) or CLEP during your final, graduating term. Please plan accordingly.

*** You MUST report all credit you have attempted or earned prior to completing your baccalaureate degree. If you have attempted or earned credit from another institution that does not yet appear in your UCF record, be sure you have requested all transcripts be sent to the UCF Registrar’s Office as soon as possible.

If you have questions, we encourage you to email us at cosgraduation@ucf.edu
