Applications for graduation are available in our Student Services office at WSU Rochester Center. Candidates for graduation should review the requirements specified for their major/minor and submit and application for graduation to the Registrar's Office in the Winona campus at least two semesters before they expect to graduate. The WSU Rochester Center office can send down the application after it has been completely filled out.

Applications are processed in the order in which they are returned to the Registrar's Office; students should allow a four-week minimum for application processing and notification. Three weeks before graduation, a list of candidates is available at the WSU Rochester Center Student Services office or in Winona at the Registrar's office. Candidates should review the list to confirm that they have been approved for graduation. Students must notify the Registrar immediately if their names do not appear on the list even though that are candidates for graduation.

Candidates are expected to attend commencement; they should notify the Registrar's Office if they will be unable to participate in commencement. A candidate who does not attned commencement but who has completed all degree requirements will, nevertheless, be considered to have graduated.
