This form must be completed by all students who plan to graduate with an FSPH certificate or degree.
Submission deadlines
Only students who complete their graduation application by February 1 are guaranteed to be included in the Spring Commencement Bulletin or School Recognition Program.
The IU Richard M Fairbanks School of Public Health School recognition ceremony will be held at the Scottish Rite Cathedral on Saturday, May 11, 2024 at 10 a.m.
Details will be sent late February to students who have completed a graduation application and are in degree review status for May or August 2024.
The IU Indianapolis Office of the Registrar maintains the official name and address records for all students. Your ‘degree name’ is the name used on your diploma and in the commencement program. It is your responsibility to verify that your preferred name is listed under ‘degree name.’ You may use a variation of your legal name for your diploma and the program (e.g. your middle initial rather than your full middle name).
If you would like a variation of your legal name on your diploma, log in to One.IU and go to Personal Information > Biographical Information > Names.
Students whose names have been legally changed should contact the Office of the Registrar and email the updated information to fsphdone@iu.edu when completed.
The expected graduation date is the term in which the student believes they will complete their graduation requirements (all courses completed and grades processed).
There is one graduation ceremony hosted a year, in May. Summer (August) graduates are invited to participate in the May ceremony before their degree completion. Fall (December) graduates are invited to participate in the May ceremony after their degree completion.
Diplomas/Certificates take several months to be printed and mailed to students. We ask for your patience during this time. Diplomas will be mailed directly from the printer to students. Please ensure your student home address is updated with the registrar.
