Ready to graduate? Apply by Dec. 1

Two University of Maine at Augusta graduates in caps and gowns smile and pose together outdoors, each holding their diploma covers after commencement.

If you plan to complete your degree this December, be sure to submit your Application for Graduation Form by Dec. 1.

Students completing their program in December 2025, May 2026, or August 2026 are eligible to participate in the May 2026 Commencement Ceremony. To ensure your eligibility and avoid surprises, meet with your faculty advisor before submitting the form, but remember, it’s ultimately your responsibility to confirm all degree requirements in the UMA catalog.

If you plan to graduate but not participate in the ceremony, you should still apply to graduate before the end of your final semester.
