Advising & Academic Resources for Students

Academic advisors are available to help students begin a graduate program at WashU. Advisors meet with students to discuss the application process and curriculum options that best meet their academic and career goals. Students maintain contact with their academic advisor throughout their program to stay informed about school-wide policies and information needed to successfully complete their degree.

Intent to Graduate/Commencement

Students who are scheduled to receive degrees or certificates must file an Intent for Degree Completion which can be found on the Academic Hub on Workday. Online forms must be completed by semester deadlines. Intentions to Graduate must have met the academic guidelines of a 2.70 GPA or higher. Although students may complete course work and graduate in May, August, or December, the University has one Commencement Ceremony each year in May. There is a separate recognition event held in December, but August and December graduates can also participate in the May Commencement Ceremony.
