When should I apply for graduation?
It is recommended that you apply to graduate at least two quarters in advance of your planned graduation date. The University of Washington has a special registration category, Graduating Senior Priority (GSP), which allows seniors whose graduation applications are already on file to register on the first day of the registration period for two quarters.
The latest that students can apply to graduate for a specific quarter is the third Friday of the quarter in which they plan to graduate.
To submit your application, please contact the chemistry advisers at chemadv@uw.edu.
We also ask that you please take a few minutes to fill out the Department of Chemistry Exit Survey
