When will I hear back about my graduation status once I apply to graduate?

Graduation Application Submitted PRIOR to the add/drop deadline for your intended graduation term:

After submitting a graduation application, it could take several weeks to receive a preliminary review, but you will receive a review prior to the add/drop deadline for your intended graduation term. You will receive notification via email to your Salem State University email account directing you to a new 'Task' in Navigator. This 'Task' can be found on the Task menu bar under 'To Do List'. It will detail your remaining degree requirements, specifying if you have any missing requirements outside of your current course enrollment. During your final semester, you will receive an official review specifying whether you are deemed eligible pending successful completion of your in-progress coursework based on your record at that time. This second review could take several weeks into the semester. You will also receive email notification and possibly another 'To Do List' item in Navigator.

Summer applicants looking to participate in the preceding spring commencement ceremony will receive a walk approval or denial notice along with a full preliminary review.
