Graduation Approval Form Instructions

Graduation Approval Form Instructions (print version)

Please follow these steps to complete the approval process:

  1. Review the Graduation Approval Form (GAF) sent by the Enrollment Services Graduation Specialist via CSUStan email.
  2. Meet with the student to review the Approval Form.
  3. As determined in your advising session, list all major courses required for graduation in the appropriate box on the GAF (You do not need to complete it, sign it or scan it, but you will need to include it as an attachment to the completed email you send forward).
    Students with a minor(s): If the student has a minor, please forward the GAF documents and the completed email to the chair of the minor department, copying the student. The minor department chair will then follow this process for requirements in the minor and return the GAF and any documents to the Graduation Specialist.
  4. Please also note any exceptions or waivers of requirements.
  5. Upon completion of the GAF, please email it and any supporting documents to the graduation specialist in Enrollment Services. Please be sure to include the student in the email as an acknowledgement that the course list and any notes were reviewed with the student.
    Your email, name, and date stamp will serve as your signature. No further signatures are required.
