CEE 25 Grad Celebration

CEE Seniors – Apply to Graduate Now!

Hello CEE Seniors, 

If you plan to complete your BSCE or BSENVE degree in Autumn 2024, Winter 2025, Spring 2025, or Summer 2025, it is time to apply to graduate!

Here are the steps we need you to complete: 

  1. Run a fresh degree audit (DARS) and carefully review your remaining requirements – make sure you account for each one. When you register for you final quarter, your DARS must show that all requirements are either completed or in progress:

UW will not grant your degree unless your DARS shows that all requirements have been met when your final grades are posted:

  1. Update your MyPlan so that it reflects your plan for completing your degree. If you’re unsure of the exact courses you’ll take, it’s okay to use placeholder classes as shown on the sample 4-year plan on the BSCE/BSENVE degree sheets. If you’ve taken courses outside of UW that you plan to use toward your degree, please be sure that your most recent official transcript has been sent to the UW Admissions Office. You will also want to use our CEE projected course list when planning your future CEE courses.
  2. After reviewing your DARS and MyPlan, complete the google form at your earliest convenience and we will submit an online graduation application to the UW Registrar on your behalf. The form will provide a place for you to ask questions or point out any concerns you may have:
