How to Apply for Graduation
Students nearing the completion of their degree requirements must declare the term in which they are seeking to graduate by completing the online Application for Graduation and submitting it to the Office of the Registrar. The online application is available through your BIC (Belmont Intranet Connection) account . You will find these links in two places on BIC:
- Under the student's My Belmont Account (on the right side of the opening screen, visible upon login) are links to Undergraduate and Graduate Applications for Graduation.
- Under the Register navigation bar link is a subheading titled 'Graduation/Commencement Links'.
Several items should be considered when preparing the application:
1. Review general degree, major/minor, and Convocation requirements to ensure eligibility to apply for graduation in a specific term.
2. Submit a completed online Application for Graduation (available through BIC ) to the Office of the Registrar prior to the deadline for the semester in which you intend to graduate. Application deadlines are posted on the Registrar website as well as in the academic calendar .
3. Your account will be charged a non-refundable application fee (plus any applicable late charges) the first Friday of the term of your intended graduation.
4. The Office of Registrar reviews every application for graduation to ensure completion of all graduation requirements; only when this process is complete will a student be cleared for graduation.
5. Applications submitted after the deadline will incur an additional non-refundable late fee of $100. Please note: No application submitted after the deadline is guaranteed clearance for graduation; applications are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
6. Notify your academic advisor that you have applied for graduation.
7. To verify that your application is received and you are
on the list of prospective graduating students, log onto your
BIC account
and click on the Register tab on the navigation bar to view a
current list of applicants.
