Graduation Audit
Office of the Registrar is Closed
Due to COVID-19, the Office of the Registrar is currently closed, but we are responding to inquiries.
Please submit any questions you may have to our Registrar Request Form.
To file for graduation, you can apply via your Self-Service area in CUNYfirst for the semester in which you anticipate meeting degree requirements. All degree requirements must be met before you can be graduated. If you fail to meet your requirements in the semester in which you filed for graduation, you must re-file for graduation in the semester in which you expect to fulfill all requirements. Failure to do so by the posted deadlines could impact your date of graduation as well as your ability to participate in the Commencement Ceremony.
- Students who completed their degree requirements in the fall 2020 semester (December 31, 2020 graduation date) must file for graduation by September 15, 2020. If you anticipate completing your degree requirements during the winter intersession, you should file for fall 2020 graduation. Contact us via this form to let us know that you will have a February 1, 2021 graduation date.
- Students who anticipate completing their degree requirements in the spring 2021 semester (June 1, 2021 graduation date) must file for graduation by February 15, 2021.
- Students who anticipate completing their degree requirements in the summer 2021 semester (September 1, 2021 graduation date) must file for graduation by March 15, 2021.
If you have missed the deadline to file for graduation, file for the next available graduation date. After you have filed, inform the Office of the Registrar so that your request can be researched. Requests are processed according to graduation date and in the order the request was received. If you missed the deadline, we cannot guarantee you the graduation date you are seeking.
The degree audit process is a very detailed one and does not occur instantaneously. You will receive an e-mail from your auditor once your degree audit has been completed. The e-mail will state what, if any, requirements are outstanding for your degree. Your patience during this process is greatly appreciated. If you have questions about your degree requirements in the meantime, it is recommended that you consult your DegreeWorks report (available via the CUNY Portal) or speak to your program head (graduate students) or an academic or departmental adviser (undergraduate students).
If you have any questions that are not answered here, please contact us using this form.

Given the current federal, state, and local restrictions, we are unsure if an in-person Commencement Ceremony is possible, but we are making all the proper arrangements to be ready should we receive approval. More information about the 2021 Graduation Celebration is available on the Commencement Website.
Note that all changes to student records, including grade changes, removals of incompletes, and transfer work necessary for completion of degree requirements, must be on file in the Office of the Registrar by the Friday following the end of the term of graduation.
Brooklyn College academic records are sealed upon the conferral of a degree. After this date, changes to majors and minors, addition of departmental honors, grade changes, or other changes to an academic record cannot be made.
