Graduation Checklist

Undergraduate Candidates:

In order to be considered for degree candidacy, each student MUST FILE A GRADUATION APPLICATION with the Registrar's Office in accordance with respective deadlines.  Please visit our Graduation page for the Undergraduate Graduation Application and application deadlines.  

Make sure that you are properly pre-registered so that you can be accurately reviewed for graduation.  Once you have filed for graduation, your degree audit will be reviewed by the undergraduate graduation clearance team in the Registrar’s Office.  Upon completion of your review, you will receive an email (to your WPI email address) from the Registrar’s Office (with a copy to your Program Review Chair) regarding the results of your degree review.  The email will specifically state whether or not you are on track to graduate with your current registration.  If you are missing degree requirements, those requirements will be noted in the email and you should register for those outstanding requirements accordingly.
