Graduation Checklist

Follow the graduation checklist to file for graduation and to participate in the graduation ceremony. This checklist must be completed to be eligible to participate in the graduation ceremony. Apply early to ensure you receive all of the information for the graduation ceremony.

  • Meet with your program faculty advisor to review award requirements and to discuss whether you will complete award requirements at the conclusion of the semester.
  • Complete an Application for Award form for each degree, diploma, or certificate you are applying for and have your program faculty advisor sign it. Check with the OneStop Center if you are not sure you have completed an Application for Award.
  • Submit the Application for Award form to the OneStop Center. If you would like to participate in the Commencement Ceremony, check the box on the form.
  • Verify that your most current mailing address is on file through your eServices account.
  • If you are planning to test out of a course, all test-outs must be scheduled, completed, and transcripted before the deadline.
  • Course transfers must be transcripted before the deadline. If you are transferring courses from another college or transferring an articulated course, you should confirm that your transfers have been completed by printing a DARS audit. If you have courses from another Minnesota State institution that have not been transferred, submit an eTranscript Retrieval form. Please contact the Transfer Center with any questions.
  • Watch your my.HennepinTech email for a response from the Registrar’s Office on your graduation status.
  • Refer to the graduation website under Current Students for more information regarding the Commencement Ceremony.
