WBS Graduation Candidacy Application
In order to be considered for degree candidacy, each student MUST FILE AN APPLICATION with the Registrar's Office in accordance with respective deadlines below. Graduate students must be registered in the semester in which the degree requirements are completed. Below is a summary of the WPI graduation application process as applied by the WPI Business School.
WPI Business School: Graduation Application Process
The Business School has implemented an electronic application process for graduation application (effective Dec 2024 graduation). This is a two step process:
-
Step 1: General “Application to Graduate” Process required by WPI Registrar. Fill out and submit your Application to Graduate via Workday.
- Step 2: Business School Graduate Students Only: Fill out and submit your Adobe e-sign completion form accessed through the BUS-GSP Canvas Portal
Once the WBS Grad Advising team receives your submission, submitted materials are audited. The team will follow up with questions (if necessary) and communicate with the Registrar’s Office through completion of the process. Administrative review is usually completed within a 10-15 day window after the Graduation Application Deadline. Students will be intimated upon completion of the review.
We thank you for your cooperation and support of this new electronic process as we streamline our support mechanisms for Graduate students in the Business School.
