Congratulations! You’ve worked very hard to reach this point in your collegiate career. Here are a few reminders to complete your preparation for commencement.
Schedule an Advising Appointment
Arrange for an official graduation application review with your school/college’s advisor to ensure all your university course work is completed.
Complete a Graduation Application
Obtain a Graduation Pin Number from your academic advisor and complete the application on the Online Graduation Clearance System. You can check the system any time to view the approval status of your application at each level.
Order Your Academic Regalia (Cap and Gown) and Other Graduation Items
Please contact the Jackson State University Bookstore for information regarding ordering your academic regalia and other graduation items. Please call 601-979-2021 for more information.
Review Your Student Account
Please ensure that you have no financial obligations to the university. Financial holds will prevent the timely issuance of your degree. This includes financial, library, athletic and exit interview holds.
Complete Your Exit Interview and Surveys
Please see your Academic Advisor regarding the completion of required senior exit surveys.
If you’ve received financial aid, you must also complete a financial aid exit interview. Please contact the Financial Aid Office at 601-979-2227 for more information.
