Graduation Information
Key To Your Graduation

The Key To Your Graduation can be found by reading and doing the information on this page.

Step1: Avoid the Graduation Trap

  • Read all of the information provided to you by DeVry.
  • Undergraduate students, complete the Graduation Application before Friday, May 2, 2008.
  • Attend all Senior Fest Events.
  • Questions you should ask yourself
  • Did I complete a diploma application
    Did I purchase a cap and gown from Jostens?
    Did I order a class ring?

    Did I arrange for a cap and gown picture?

    Did I schedule an appointment with my Career Advisor?

    Did I attend an exit interview with Student Finance?
    Do I know the time and place for the graduation?

    If you do not know what needs to be done to complete any of these tasks please call Career Services at (972) 929-9353

    Step 2: Have you checked to make sure you are on the potential Graduation List?

    You may go to Student Central to check and make sure you are on the graduation list. If your name is not on the list you will not be able to graduate therefore it is very important that you confirm this.

    The Potential Graduate List will be posted at the beginning of week 5.

    Step 3: Know the important dates for graduation information

    • Senior Fests will be held on:

      Information Sessions

      • Saturday, April 12th from 10:00 A.M. to 10:30 A.M. in Room 249

    • Graduation Ceremonies will be at 7:00 P.M. on Friday, June 20, 2008.

    • You must schedule an appointment with your Career Advisor in Career Services, even if you do not need job assistance. The appointment should take about a half-hour and should be scheduled before week eight of the term.

    • You must schedule and attend an "Exit Interview" with Student Finance in Student Central. If you do not attend an "Exit Interview" you will not be eligible to graduate.

    Step 4: The Graduation Walk

    Graduation ceremonies will be held on Friday, June 20, 2008. You should arrive by 5:45 p.m. so you can get checked in, have your picture taken and get lined up. The graduation ceremony will begin at 7:00 p.m..

    Directions to Graduation

    Special Notes:

    • All fees for graduation are included in a $50.00 fee that is automatically put on your Educard account.

    • Receipt of a graduation package does not constitute eligibility to graduate.

    • All cum laude honors at graduation will be determined based on your cumulative GPA from last term.

    • If you will be a "walk-only" graduate, meaning you will walk with the June class but will officially graduate next term, please contact Irene Lopez at (972) 929-9355 no later than Week 5 of Session B to be sure your name appears in the ceremony program.

    • If you have any questions, please call Career Services at (972) 929-9353.
