Applying for graduation
Every Franklin student must complete a graduation application to receive a diploma, even if you do not plan to participate in the commencement ceremony. Beginning on February 26, 2024, the graduation application can be found through the Self Service link in your my.ngskmc-eis.net account.
*Please note that if you fail to graduate in the trimester for which you apply, you must complete a new application for any subsequent trimester, including required fees.
**If you are planning a move in the trimester of your graduation, please contact the Registrar's Office directly to confirm your mailing address.
Due date: Graduation applications for the Summer term are due by May 20, 2024. A late application fee will apply after this date.
- Undergraduate student fee: $65 ($25 additional fee for each additional degree [not major] awarded in the same term)
- Graduate student fee: $85
- Doctorate student fee: $150
Late fees
Applications received from May 21 through June 3 will be assessed a $100.00 late fee. Applications will NOT be accepted after June 3.
Outstanding balances: All outstanding balances must be paid in full by July 22 in order to pick up your regalia and participate in the graduation ceremony.
Franklin University will not issue diplomas or transcripts to students with unpaid balances.
Students with Deferred Tuition
If you are on the Deferred Tuition Payment Plan, any outstanding tuition balance is due in advance of the normal deferred payment date. There is no extension allowed as in other trimesters.
