Begin the Graduation Process
Congratulations!
You’ve come so far—and you’re almost at the finish line. But there are a few things to do before you can call yourself a Walden graduate. Here are the steps you need to take.
Complete Your Application
Due to the impact of COVID-19, there may be a delay in the delivery of diplomas, certificates, and transcripts.
It’s important to submit your online graduation application as soon as you begin your last class. This key step begins the degree conferral process.
Complete Your Graduation Application.
Your degree will be conferred up to 4 weeks after your last course is completed.
You will be notified of your degree conferral status via email and which commencement you are first eligible to attend.
You will receive a print and digital copy of your degree or certificate.
Get Ready for Commencement
It is so important to take a moment and celebrate good news – like the fact that it is almost time for your graduation from Walden University. We want you to know how proud we are of your accomplishment.
Walden will host the summer 2021 virtual commencement on July 31, 2021. This ceremony will be a special and meaningful event that will showcase and celebrate our summer 2021 graduates. More details on our 65th commencement ceremony can be found on the summer 2021 commencement information page.
Walden’s next in-person ceremonies are scheduled for January 27-29, 2022 in Orlando, Florida. More information and details on this commencement will be available at the end of the summer on the commencement website.
