✤Graduation vs. Commencement✤ Image AddedGraduation (Office of the Registrar) - Fulfillment of academic requirements and the award of a degree on the official record.
- Students must submit an Application to Graduate for the term they will complete all degree requirements for their program.
- All applications must be submitted during the application period. Specific dates are noted below and in the Academic Calendar. Students who miss the deadline should contact their academic department to determine eligibility and to request a late submission.

- Apply to Graduate through the Student Academic Records Menu in MyUWF.
- Applying for graduation is completely separate from registering to attend the commencement ceremony.
Image AddedCommencement (Commencement Office) - Students must RSVP to participate in the ceremony.
- Commencement is the celebration/ceremony where graduates walk dressed in academic regalia (cap and gown) to be congratulated by the university’s leadership and faculty. It does not mean you've officially graduated. Only the Office of the Registrar can confirm your graduation status and issue your Transcript/Diploma.
- Please note that students should RSVP to the ceremony in which they have an active graduation application on file. If a student attends a ceremony in which they do not have an active graduation application on file their name will not be reflected within the Commencement Program nor will they receive important graduation communications.
- Summer term graduation applicants have the option to choose to participate in either the Spring or Fall Commencement ceremonies. Students must RSVP to participate.
- Students receiving an A.A. or certificate only do NOT participate in the commencement ceremony. The Commencement Ceremony is reserved for those obtaining a bachelor's or higher degree.

When discussing the GPAs used to determine Baccalaureate Honors, the Cumulative Institutional GPA refers to all courses taken at UWF. The Overall Cumulative GPA refers to all transfer coursework and institutional coursework combined. You may also refer to the Academic Catalog regarding Baccalaureate Honors. Honors designation is calculated based on the lower of the two GPAs: either the Cumulative Institutional GPA or the Overall Cumulative GPA. Your GPAs are listed on your unofficial transcript viewable through your MyUWF account. The Graduate School does not recognize honors designations for Masters, Educational Specialist, and Doctoral students.
