Applying for Graduation Through Self-Service Pages

This section provides an overview of the self-service application process and discusses how to students can apply for graduation through pages in Campus Self Service.

Understanding the Self-Service Application Process

Campus Self Service enables students to submit requests for graduation over the internet using a single self-service transaction. A successful self-service application updates a student’s Program/Plan record with a new effective-dated row and program action of Data Change. The self-service application also updates the student’s degree checkout status to Applied. You can use the Graduation Processing and Reporting feature to select this population of students and to track and update their degree checkout progress through graduation.

Degree checkout counselors and academic advisors who are evaluating and approving student applications for graduation, for example, can later use the Graduation Reporting component to query and identify this student as part of a larger student population in the system (students with a degree checkout status equal to Applied).

Prerequisites

Before students can use the self-service Apply for Graduation feature, you must define valid graduation terms on the Term Calendar 4 page. For each graduation term, you must specify a range of days that a student must apply within in order to apply for the graduation term. For example, you can set up a term of fall 2005 with a valid date range of September 1, 2004, through August 15, 2005. Students that use the self-service Apply for Graduation feature between the dates of September 1, 2004, and August 15, 2005, see Fall 2005 as one of the graduation term choices.
