Apply and RSVP for Graduation
Graduation Application
Follow the steps below, on either Workday desktop or mobile, to apply for program completion, RSVP for commencement, and locate details about regalia.
For Fall 2024 Commencement, you may skip steps 1-5 and move to the Printed Diploma section, as the Student Records office has already entered eligible applications.

- Open the Requests app from the Menu and select Create Request.
- Type Create Request in the search bar and select the task.
- Open the Academics or Finances App and select Create Request under Requests.

After your application is reviewed, we will place a note on your account, and you and your assigned advisor will receive a Workday notification. The notification will state that your graduation application has been received and reviewed.
For more details, click the person icon/profile picture. Select View Profile, followed by the History tab to view Note History. (Note History is not available on the mobile app.)

RSVP for Commencement
Applying for graduation using the request in Workday doesn’t mean you’ll be attending graduation. To save your seat at graduation, you must RSVP. The RSVP form will become available at https://www.pensacolastate.edu/current-students/graduation/ before any commencement ceremonies.
Regalia
Regalia will be available at the bookstore for purchase beginning November 18.
After the Graduation Ceremony
Check your PSC email and text messages for an email from Parchment with your digital diploma while your hard copy is being printed and mailed to your home address. All diplomas are mailed approximately three weeks after final grades are posted.
Contact graduation staff at graduation@pensacolastate.edu with any questions.
