Be sure that you apply for graduation by declaring your graduation date and paying the graduation fee ($29). Once declared, your graduation date will appear in the top righthand corner of your DARS.
You should complete this process at the very beginning of the semester you will graduate or the end of the previous semester. The follwing website contains the application form and deadline information: http://www.reg.niu.edu/regrec/graduation/index.shtml.
Review your DARS report with your advisor the semester before you graduate and the
semester of your graduation. Remember that you are responsible for your graduation
requirements. The DARS
report originates from R&R, the office which will do a final check on your academic requirements
for graduation. Access your DARS through WebConnect.
If you have used Financial Aid, schedule your exit interview.

(You must attend an orientation session. They are held at the beginning of each semester.)
