KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
Graduation is the completion of all degree requirements as recorded on the official transcript. To officially graduate, students must satisfy all degree program requirements. All students must register to graduate by submitting an official online graduation application through my.pitt.edu.
Applying for graduation is required regardless of your plans to attend Commencement.
Commencement is a ceremony celebrating students who have recently fulfilled or are about to complete all degree program requirements. Participation in Commencement does not ensure automatic graduation. Diplomas are not handed out at any Commencement ceremony.
