Commencement is a ceremony to honor our annual graduates, but please remember that participation is optional and not the same as graduating from Sonoma State. You will officially graduate after grades have been finalized and only if all degree requirements were completed by the end of the semester you applied to graduate. Learn more about how to apply to graduate at the Office of the Registrar website.
The Academic Requirements Report (ARR) determines a student's graduation eligibility. The current "graduation status" appears at the top left corner of the ARR. Please contact your graduation team specialist if you have questions or concerns about your graduation status.
