-===== Graduation =====+===== Graduation Process  =====
  
-You must complete an application to graduate by about the middle of the semester **before** the semester you plan to graduate. For example, if you plan to graduate in May 20xx then you must turn in your application by about the middle of the fall semester 20xx-1. The registrar's web page has specific due dates.+Graduation applications need to be done electronically via MyMadison. Before you can submit an application you need to make sure that all the graduation requirements in the Academic Requirements are listed as "satisfied." This may not happen until you actually enroll for classes for your last semester. However, there may be some issues you need to work out with your adviser firstso if you think you have met all the requirements but not everything is listed correctly, please get in touch with your advisor to fix things.
  
-The application to graduate (for computer scienceconsists of the {{http://www.jmu.edu/registrar/wm_library/app_bach_deg.pdf | Application to Graduate form}}, a copy of an unofficial transcript (available from MyMadison), and a complete CS Graduation Checksheet for your catalog year (available below). Your catalog year is the year you started at JMU (unless you have changed it officially with the registrar).+Graduation applications generally open up mid-semester in the semester preceding your graduation term. Departments have been asked to not start the review process until the add/drop deadline has passed for the semester in which students graduate. Thus, if you apply (for examplein October to graduate in May, the application will not be reviewed until around February. However, you should still apply as early as possible to identify any issues with lacking requirements and to be sure you enroll for the right classes in your last semester. Please contact you advisor if you need any help with this.
