Graduation Application
Review Process

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.

Please follow these steps to complete the approval process:

1. Run the Warrior Connect support notification report to determine which students are ready for major graduation advising.

2. Submit a Note for the student on Warrior Connect indicating remaining major requirements, units to 120, and exceptions or waivers of any major requirements. Completed Advising sheets may be attached. Please remind the student to review STAN Degree Progress for any remaining requirements. 3. Students with a second major and/or minor(s): If the student has a second major and/or minor, the assigned advisor will reach out to the student for graduation advising and create a separate note with remaining requirements. The graduation specialist will be notified via completed notes that the requirements have been discussed with the student. Completed Advising sheets may be attached.

If you have any questions regarding the above, please contact the Graduation Specialist for your college.
