Graduation Checklist
If you have questions regarding this checklist, email student.services@as.ua.edu and include your name, CWID, and primary major.
Review your DegreeWorks to make sure your curriculum includes all of your majors, minors, and
concentrations; this includes being listed as a double major OR dual-degree candidate (refer to
Quick Facts on graduation website for handout).
Use the DegreeWorks planner to make a plan for completing your remaining degree
requirements. Be sure to review this plan with your assigned advisor. Any deficiencies in
DegreeWorks will be noted in red.
If your department has approved any substitutions to your curriculum not yet reflected in
DegreeWorks, have documentation sent to student.services@as.ua.edu and include your name,
CWID, and primary major.
Submit outstanding coursework if you are completing CLEP credit, transfer work, or study abroad.
If the credit does not appear on your DegreeWorks, send your official transcript and/or test scores
to the UA Office of University Registrar (https://registrar.ua.edu/) by the Undergraduate Transfer
Credit Deadline in the Academic Calendar (https://registrar.ua.edu/academiccalendar/).
Check your GPA. All GPAs {Overall, UA, Major(s), and Minor(s)} must be 2.0 or higher to be eligible
for graduation.
Confirm hours earned. A minimum of 120 total applicable hours earned is required for
graduation. Note: the total hours required may be more if you are pursuing a specialized degree.
The total hours required for your degree will be listed at the top of your DegreeWorks. Dual-
degree students must have a minimum of 150 earned hours.
Apply for graduation online via myBama at least one semester before you plan to graduate. The
degree application should be filed for the term in which the student expects to complete all degree
requirements. For students pursuing multiple degrees, a degree application is required for each
individual degree.
Once you apply for graduation and you are registered for your last semester(s) of classes, an
A&S Registrar will review your academic record and complete your degree audit. Students are
strongly encouraged to regularly check their emails for communications regarding their
application.
Check and respond to emails for additional communication from the College and the University
regarding graduation and other pertinent information.
Visit the Commencement Website (ua.edu/commencement) for all information regarding
ceremony details (schedule of events, travel information, cap and gown purchase, etc.).
Update your diploma address in myBama by the Diploma Address Deadline published in the
Academic Calendar (https://registrar.ua.edu/academiccalendar/).
Look for your diploma to arrive in the mail approximately six to eight weeks after the
commencement ceremony. Congratulations, and Roll Tide!
