Graduation

Apply for graduation

You must apply for graduation via the College Recorder's office several months before your intended graduation date. At that time, the IMP assistant director will perform a senior check of your academic progress. Because the senior check is an opportunity for the assistant director to spot deficiencies and alert you while time remains to adjust your schedule, it's in your best interest to observe the College's deadlines:

  • May Graduation: June 1 of the previous year
  • August Graduation: December 1 of the previous year
  • December Graduation: March 1

If you have made any changes to your IMP curriculum, please submit a Course Change Form to the IMP office at the time you apply for graduation (see Course substitutions).

Graduation events

Indiana University holds official Commencement ceremonies in May and December. August graduates may attend Commencement in the preceding May. For more information, see the IU Commencement website.

In addition, the IMP hosts a celebration for students graduating with individualized majors. The format of this celebration varies depending on the number of graduating students, but it usually takes the form of a ceremony and reception in May and a brunch or dinner event in December. The IMP event does not conflict with the campuswide Commencement ceremony, so students may choose to attend both.

Information about the IMP events will be distributed to graduating students and IMP faculty members via e-mail. Please contact the IMP office if you have questions.
