You've Earned It
You're almost there. There are just a few steps left to ensure that you’re ready to graduate.
Graduation Application
Apply for graduation by completing the application in goPFW under Enrollment, then Registration tools. The application is necessary even if you do not plan to take part in commencement. Purdue Fort Wayne relies on the application for graduation to know the semester you intend to complete degree requirements. If you are pursuing multiple degrees and/or certificates, the application allows you to select the degrees and term you intend to finish. NOTE: Please meet with your academic advisor to verify your curriculum record is accurate before completing the application(s).
Graduation Audit
Your myBLUEprint degree audit is used to certify the completion of your degree requirements for graduation. Review your degree audit by logging in to your myBLUEprint (locate myBLUEprint under the Enrollment Tab on goPFW). Contact your academic advisor with any questions.
Here is what the graduation application does:
- Triggers the graduation audit process
- Ensures that you receive commencement information and that your name appears in the commencement program
- Allows the university to order your diploma
| Expected Graduation | Application Deadline |
|---|---|
| Fall Semester | June 1 |
| Spring Semester | November 1 |
| Summer Session I or II | February 1 |
*If the graduation application deadline has passed, apply immediately.
See the graduation FAQ for additional information.
Graduation Changes beginning Summer 2022
To align itself more closely with Purdue West Lafayette, all PFW students who complete degree requirements following the end of the first six-week summer session will have their degrees conferred in August, following the end of the second six-week summer session. Students planning to finish degree requirements in June should understand that transcripts will not be updated with degree blocks until the end of the summer semester in August. Diplomas will be sent 6 to 8 weeks after the August conferral date. Students who require confirmation of completion of their degree requirements for pending employment or admission requirements may contact the Registrar’s office at [email protected] for confirmation letters.
Diplomas
Your diploma will list the University, your legal name as reflected on your Purdue Fort Wayne academic record (unless otherwise requested), the college or school you are graduating from, and the degree name. For further information about diplomas, please see Diploma FAQ
