Graduation

Congratulations on finishing a challenging degree program. The Department of Mechanical Engineering applauds your accomplishment. To ensure this is an enjoyable event for you and your guest(s) we would like to remind you of a few planning steps.

  • It is the graduating student’s responsibility to notify the University of his or her intent to graduate. Confirm the activation period on the Academic Calendar for the dates when you can activate your intent to graduate.
  • Using the “Apply for Graduation” link within the My Academics page in the LionPATH Student Center, you can set your intent to graduate
  • Once you have applied to graduate, the ME undergraduate office assistant will review your degree audit to ensure you have completed all of your degree requirements. In addition, the University Registrar’s Office will email you regarding the correct spelling of your name for the diploma and the address to be used to mail your diploma. Keep a close eye on your PSU email to ensure you do not miss any important communications from either office.
  • After the activation period expires, you must contact the Undergraduate Program Office to activate or remove your intent to graduate at undergrad@me.psu.edu.
  • See the Registrar’s Graduation web site for additional information, such as transcripts, diploma mailing and instructions for name and address changes. registrar.psu.edu/graduation
  • Visit Commencement at University Park to learn more about your important day commencement.psu.edu
  • There may be ticket limits (six per graduate) for the Penn State Commencement Ceremonies. Look for graduation ticket announcements during your final semester. All seating is on a first-come first-served basis.
