Complete the following steps before the applicable submission deadline (see the graduation & diploma calendar):

1. Follow this link to Buff Portal's  (you may be prompted to log in).
2. Select "Apply for graduation."
3. For your academic institution, select "CUBLD."
4. For your expected graduation term, choose the term in which you expect to complete your degree requirements.
5. Select "Select Program."
6. Select the link for the academic program you're applying to graduate from. (Note: You can't apply to graduate from a certificate or licensure program. If you're pursuing a dual degree, submit a separate application for the each program.)
7. Review your academic information. If it's accurate, select "Information Is Correct."
8. Select "Apply for Graduation."
9. Review your name. If you want to modify it, select "Change Name," then "Add Name." Once you save it, this new name will be your diploma name.
10. Once you're happy with your name, select the "Approve Diploma Name" checkbox.
11. Review your address. Diplomas are mailed approximately eight weeks after the commencement ceremony. If the address shown won't be correct at that time, select "Change Address" to create a new diploma address. The post office will not forward your diploma if your address changes.
12. Once you're happy with your address, tick the "Approve Diploma Address" checkbox.
13. Review your information. If it's accurate, select "Apply for Graduation."

Your application status will likely remain as "In Review" until after the degree conferral date for your graduation term.*

At that time, your department will review your records, determine whether you've completed your graduation requirements, and change your status to either "Accepted" or "Denied."

• If your status is "Accepted," then you've successfully completed your degree requirements and have graduated from ÌÒÉ«ÊÓƵ.
• If your status is "Denied," then you haven't completed your degree requirements and have not graduated from ÌÒÉ«ÊÓƵ. Please contact your advisor for more information.

*If your status is changed to "Accepted" before the end of your graduation term, that means the department has received your application, but has not confirmed whether you've met your degree requirements.

To change your graduation term, you must cancel the current application and submit a new one.

1. Follow this link to Buff Portal's  (you may be prompted to log in).
2. Select "Apply for graduation."
3. In the graduation application status table, select "View Application."
4. Select "Cancel Application," then "Yes."
5. Follow the instructions above to submit an application with your new graduation term.
