Graduation Application Instructions

Using this Web form, you may submit a new graduation application. You may also view an application that you submitted previously and modify it if desired. The "Date Applied" column indicates whether this is a new or existing application. If there is a date in that column, you are viewing an application that you submitted previously.

Law students should not submit their graduation applications via GGU4YOU. Instead, complete the School of Law Graduation Application and submit it to the Law Registrar's Office, Room 3310. The form may also be obtained at the Law Registrar's Office. Once your form has been received and the data has been entered into the administrative database, you will be able to view it on GGU4YOU. Law students with questions regarding their graduation applications should contact the Law Registrar's Office at lawreg@ggu.edu or 415-442-6620.

JD/MBA students must apply for graduation for both degree programs. They should apply online for the MBA program, and apply using the form described above for the JD program.

Step 1: Select the Program

Step 2: Complete the Application

If you are submitting or modifying an application, there must be an entry in all boxes marked with an asterisk.

• Name on Diploma: (Required) Enter your name exactly as you wish it to appear on your diploma. NOTE: If you wish to have your diploma issued in a name which differs from that in our academic records, you must submit documentation verifying a legal name change (for example, a copy of a marriage certificate or divorce decree) to the Office of Records and Registration. If your name has any special characters, such as an accent mark or umlaut, please send a message to graduation@ggu.edu with the correct spelling of your name as you wish it to appear on your diploma.
• Diploma Mailing Address: Enter your street address/apartment in the boxes immediately beneath the Diploma Mailing Address heading. Enter the City/State/Zip/Country in the indicated boxes. (Country is optional; all other information is required.) If you would like to pick up your diploma at the Records Office instead of having it mailed to you, delete all of your mailing address information from the address fields and enter "Hold for Pick-up" on the first address line.
• Anticipated Graduation Term: (Required) Select the academic term when you will complete the requirements for the academic program. This may be different from your commencement ceremony term. For example, you might complete the academic program in the Fall 2010 term and participate in the commencement ceremony at the end of the Spring 2011 term. In this example, you would select Fall 2010 in this box.
• Commencement Site: (Not required) GGU holds its annual commencement ceremony in San Francisco at the conclusion of the spring term. Ceremony's are not held in Seattle or Los Angeles.
• E-mail Address: (Required) You will receive an e-mail confirming receipt of your application. The e-mail will go to the address that you enter in this box. Note that an e-mail address may already be displayed when you first access the Web page, indicating that GGU has your e-mail address on file. You can delete that address and enter another one, in which case e-mails will be sent to both addresses (the one on file and the one you entered here). However, changing the e-mail address on this Web page will not change your e-mail address on file.
• Application Fee: Effective July 1, 2010 the graduation application fee was eliminated.

If you have any questions about your application for graduation please e-mail us at graduation@ggu.edu or call 415-442-7278. If you have questions about the commencement ceremony, please visit the commencement page or contact us at commencement@ggu.edu.
