Apply to graduate.
Whether or not you pan to attend the graduation ceremonies, you need to complete the Application for Graduation Form, available online through SIS Self-Service, along with a graduation fee. (If you expect to earn a certificate and a degree in the same academic year, you only need to pay a single graduation fee—but you should complete a separate application for each program.)
For more information—including about coursework, GPA, and time period for completion of requirements—visit the Graduation Eligibility & Application webpage.
Apply early.
Johns Hopkins confers degrees at the end of the summer, fall, and spring semesters. The spring commencement brochure will include the names of all students who applied to graduate by the designated deadlines for the academic year.
Diplomas arrive by mail.
All graduates will receive their diplomas by mail approximately six to eight weeks after their degree conferral date. To receive their diplomas, students must pay all student accounts in full and resolve all outstanding charges of misconduct and violations of academic integrity.
