Graduation
All students must apply online for graduation. This will initiate the graduation evaluation process. Once undergraduate students have completed 84 semester units, a link to apply online for graduation will be available on their myCSUB Student Center. In addition, students will receive an email notification that they may be eligible to apply for graduation. Post-baccalaureate students will receive the same communication once they have completed 15 semester units. Before applying for graduation, review your academic requirements with your academic advisor. Undergraduate and Post-baccalaureate students should confirm that they are within two semesters of completing all remaining graduation requirements.
