Create Graduation Application

Introduction

In most cases, students apply for graduation by filling out the Application for Graduation in SIS, but sometimes it is necessary for an administrator to create a graduation application on behalf of the student.

Create Application

    The Application for Graduation search screen appears.

    If no matching values are found, navigate to Records and Enrollment > Career and Program Information > Student Program /Plan.

    Use the search screen to look up the student’s program/plan. On the Student Program tab, add a new row. Enter a Program Action of DATA, check the Expected Graduation Term, and update if needed.

    On the Student Degrees tab, set the Degree Checkout Stat to Applied for Graduation, and click Save.

    Return to the Application for Graduation search screen and look up the student.

  3. On the student’s Application for Graduation, in the Selected Name section, enter TRN for Transcript Name or use the Look up Name Type icon and select TRN from the search results.

  4. In the Selected Address section, enter DIPL for the Address Type or use the Look up Address Type icon and select DIPL from the search results.

    If the student doesn’t have a diploma address, go to Campus Community > Personal Information > Add/Update a Person. Use the search screen to look up the student.

    Select the Addresses tab. If the student has given you a diploma address, enter the address, check the box indicating an Address Type of Diploma then click Submit and then Save.

    If the student hasn’t given you a diploma address, select their Permanent address, check the box indicating an Address Type of Diploma then click Submit and then Save.

    Students can update this address by going to their Profile tile in SIS.

  5. On the Additional Info tab, click Attributes.

  6. Click the Look up icon for Name in Commencement Program? and select a value of YES or NO.

  7. Enter a phonetic name for the student in the appropriate fields.

This completes the process of creating a graduation application on behalf of a student.
