Matriculation FAQ

Create a graduation application.  Look for the Grad Application icon on the MY ACADEMICS page of AU Access.

You must file your graduation application by the end of the term prior to graduation.  For example, if you plan to graduate following the Spring term, you must file your graduation application by the end of the prior Fall term.

Please note that your graduation application will not be processed until you have submitted your Committee Selection form

The Grad Application system is located on AU Access. 

Students may drop/add a course through Tiger Scheduler up through the fifth class day of fall and spring semesters and the third class day in the summer semester. If you miss the drop/add deadline (see graduate school calendar), you have up until the 15th class day of the semester to drop/add with department approval and assistance. Please see your advisor for current term drop/add through the 15th day of the semester.

“Schedule Adjustment Forms” will only be accepted for previous terms, not current. The Office of the Registrar will not accept current term requests on the adjustment form. Students can request a schedule adjustment for a previous semester by emailing the Graduate School with the following information.  Missing information will cause delays.

Student Name _______________________________________

Students Banner ID number: 90_________________

CRN for the course _____________________

Course Prefix and Number _____________________

Hours to enroll ________________

Name of instructor _____________________

Auburn University Email of the Instructor ______________________

Once this schedule adjustment has been processed, you will receive an automated email that requires your online approval, which will expire within three days. Next, an automated email will be generated to the instructor for approval, which also expires within three days. If each approval process is not completed within three days, the entire request must be submitted again and the approvals start over at the beginning.

Four weeks from the graduation day of the semester you received the NR grade.

Six months from the graduation day of the semester you received the IN grade.

One year from the graduation day of the semester you received the IP grade.

No, as long as the degree is the same, we will adjust your graduation up to a year. Please be aware you will be billed for the graduation fee each time you are on the graduation list, which is non-refundable after the 5th class day.

Once you have completed a graduation application and have been placed in the Graduation Course (UNIV 4AA0) by your Graduate School Advisor, the Registrar’s office will send you an email with the Diploma Application. You will then tell the Registrar’s Office how you want your name printed on the diploma and the address to which your diploma will be sent. Diplomas are mailed to all graduating students 6-8 weeks after the graduation ceremony.
