Degree Application: Students
Introduction
This documentation shows the student's view of the online degree graduation using OPUS.
All schools at Emory University participate in online degree application submissions. Students may apply to graduate online through their OPUS account. Degree Application dates may vary by school. Please refer to the academic calendar for specific dates. Once the deadline to apply has passed, the option to apply online will no longer be available in OPUS. After the deadline, late degree applications must be completed using the paper form available from the school or the Office of the University Registrar's website.
If any degree information is incorrect, contact the Office of Undergraduate Education (Emory College undergraduates) or the school’s Enrollment Services Office immediately prior to applying to graduate.
