Graduation

In preparation for graduation, it is advised that students do the following:

Review your academic progress in MyUCSC early in your senior year to ensure that you are on track to fulfill all requirements for graduation. Contact your College Academic Advisor if you have questions about GEs, units, or other university requirements. Or contact the Sociology Undergraduate Advisor if you have any questions or concerns about Sociology requirements.
Review your Degree Program Report (DPR) often. Sociology major/minor graduation checks are completed based on the information in the student's DPR. If you see an error on the report for the sociology requirements, please inform the Sociology Undergraduate Advisor. If a sociology requirement is listed as "not satisfied" in the DPR at the time of graduation checks, then your graduation may be delayed or denied. It is very important that you ensure your DPR is up-to-date and accurate.
Apply for graduation in your final quarter. For most students this can be done via MyUCSC. See the office of registrar's website for more information about graduation requirements, and the Academic Calendar for important deadlines.
Complete steps if you intend to participate in the campus's commencement ceremony.
- The Sociology department does not have a separate commencement, however, in a typical year we have an end of year celebration for graduating students.
