How to Apply to Graduate

Once you have enrolled in or applied for credit in your final courses for your program, you must apply for graduation. Do not wait for final grades of your final program courses. This application must be done well in advance of the Convocation ceremony and must be done within the specified deadline dates. Applications to graduate at the June ceremonies are usually accepted between November and February prior to the ceremony. For the October/November ceremonies, applications are usually made in June and July.

By applying for graduation, you are notifying the university that you expect to complete your program and are ready to graduate. You must apply to graduate even if you do not plan to attend the Convocation ceremony.

There is no application fee. However, if you apply during the Late Application period, you must pay a late application fee using a valid VISA, MasterCard or AMEX card.

If you do not have a valid credit card or do not have access to MyServiceHub, contact gradinfo@torontomu.ca for assistance.

For more information about applying for graduation and deadline dates, see the Curriculum Advising website.

If you want to be considered for graduation with a minor:

You can select a minor only after you have completed the basic application to graduate. Once you have successfully submitted your application to graduate, use the Select Minor menu option on the MyServiceHub Academics page.

If your program offers concentrations and you wish to be considered for graduation with a concentration:

You can add a concentration, if you have not already done so, by using the Change Concentration menu option on the MyServiceHub Academics page.
