Candidates for degrees should apply to graduate through their my.american.edu account. Students apply for graduation during their last semester of study. The application is available under the "Academics" section of the portal. No fee is required.
Summer 2008 May 12, 2008 - August 7, 2008
Fall 2008 August 25, 2008 - December 14, 2008
Only after application for graduation has been made can the Office of the Registrar begin processing the necessary information for final certification of graduation.
Students who fail to complete all degree requirements by the end of the term for which they applied to graduate must reapply in order to graduate later.
If you have any questions, please call (202) 885-2252 or email gradclearance@american.edu.
