GRADUATION PROCESS

A student who is in the semester of which they believe they will graduate, should begin the process for graduation by submitting a Petition for Graduation form soon as their last semester begins and ensuring with the Academic Dean and Registrar that all necessary items have been received by their offices. This process can take two months.

Graduation Ceremony & Degree

Degrees are conferred throughout the academic school year (for transcript purposes) but are printed only three times a year, January, June and August. Some students may want to have an “apostille” for their degree which is a form of authentication. The Office of the Secretary of State provides apostille and authentication service to U.S. citizens and foreign nationals on documents that will be used overseas. This requires an extra fee and we group bundle them during these three times a year only.

Students who wish to have a graduation ceremony can opt to come to the UNAD Florida offices for a private graduation ceremony (at their expense, see fees) in January, June or August which would include rental robe/cap for pictures, refreshments, pictures with Executive Director/Academic Dean. See fee schedule for charge. If for any reason a degree needs to be reprinted due to loss, etc. there is a $50 fee for replacement.
