graduation application process

congratulations on your graduation!

all candidates for associate, bachelor, master's and doctoral degrees must complete southeastern's graduation application process before graduating. applications for graduation will not be accepted after the last deadline for that semester. before beginning the graduation application process, please be ready to verify information about your graduation records, including your major, minor, catalogue year, etc. once you have completed your graduation application, don't forget to complete the southeastern exit survey during your graduation semester.

southeastern's graduation fees can be paid by credit card through the controller's office at (985) 549-2068 or in person at the controller's office (located on north campus in the financial aid building), and are based on the following rates:

late graduation fees must be paid to the controller's office before the graduation application will be available for students to complete and save for processing.  if student tries to complete the graduation application before paying the late graduation fees, the application will not open for the student to make changes and it will not save the application for processing.

you must complete your graduation application before the deadline. a delay in completing this step could cost you late fees and keep you from graduating on time. the directions below will guide you through the simple application process.
