Applying to Graduate
All schools at Emory University participate in online degree application submissions. Students may apply to graduate online through their OPUS account. Online degree applications will be available in OPUS one month prior to the deadline (see application deadlines below).
Be sure to check the degree information display carefully as you apply to ensure your diploma will be ordered correctly. Double-check the following:
- Is your name spelled correctly in OPUS?
- Are you applying for the degree you think you are?
- Is your major listed correctly?
If anything about your degree information does not agree with your degree intention, contact the Office of Undergraduate Education (undergraduates), or your school’s Enrollment Services Office (graduates) immediately prior to applying to graduate.
Please know eligibility to apply for graduation does not necessarily mean that you have met all graduation requirements for your degree program. All requirements as stated in the Student Handbook for the year you entered the degree program supersede your eligibility to apply for graduation. You should receive additional information regarding graduation from your school.
