University Commencement vs College of Public Health graduation:

* If pursuing a certificate or dual degree, you must submit separate graduation applications to ensure both are awarded.
* Students who have been accepted to a Temple University graduate program (or professional school): You must first reach out to your academic advisor directly, as an administrative graduation application must be submitted on your behalf.

* If you applied to graduate during a previous term but the application was denied, and you are now completing your final requirements, you will need to complete a new graduation application.
