KSOE Commencement Registration & Credential/Degree Audit Form

Student receiving degree at Commencement

Welcome to the KSOE Commencement Registration* & Credential/Degree Audit Form. By submitting this form, you are signaling to the director of your program that you are ready for the initial review of your academic record. You may submit this form in the term prior to your expected term of completion.

*Please note that this form no longer accepts submissions to register for 2021-2022 Commencement Ceremony because the final deadline of April 1, 2022 has passed. If eligible students have missed this deadline, they may participate in next year's 2022-2023 Commencement Ceremony.

Submission of this form will prompt the posting of the $125 administrative processing fee called "Degree Fee" to your student account. All students who are in a Credential or Degree Program* are required to pay this administrative fee. It must be paid whether or not you will be participating in the actual Commencement ceremony. The 2021-2022 Commencement Ceremony for Graduate and Professional Studies students is set for May 22, 2022. Please refer to the official SMC Graduate Commencement page for up to date information about the ceremony, participation, regalia, etc.

*For students completing a credential and degree in the same academic year, please complete only one form submission. You will pay for one Degree Fee ($125) on your GaelXpress account. If students are not completing both credential + degree in the same academic year, they must pay a Degree Fee in each of the academic years in which their credential and degree was completed.
