- Can provide a compelling reason for your appeal.
Please Note:
COMMENCEMENT PROGRAM BOOK: A commencement program book containing all names of the current year's graduates will be provided to all graduates at the commencement ceremony. Names are provided to our office through the Office of the Registrar around early April. Your name appearing in the book will be based on the time that you applied to graduate (either with Undergraduate Degree Services or Graduate Studies). If appealing to participate, your name should appear in the program book if you applied to graduate by early April.
CEREMONY TICKETS: Tickets will be distributed online to all eligible graduates first and will have a ticketing window that will last two to three weeks. Once the ticketing window closes for all general graduates, we will be able to award tickets to those who are approved in their appeal to participate. The amount of tickets will be based on the amount available at the time of your approval.
*Appeals will only be accepted until May 8th, 2024.

The spring ceremony is for graduating students within this Academic Year (Fall 2023, Spring/Summer 2024).
Those graduating NEXT academic year (Fall 2024) and wish to "WALK EARLY" at the current year's commencement ceremonies can file an appeal.
The following must be met when filing an appeal:
- Have applied to graduate with Undergraduate Degree Services or Graduate Studies and it is listed on your Degree Progress Report (DPR).
- Units remaining toward completion of your degree in Fall 2024 are:
- Domestic Students - 6 units remaining
- International Students - 9 units remaining
- All coursework and substitutions from CSUN and other institutions have been submitted and are reflected on your DPR.
- Can provide a compelling reason for your appeal.
NOTES:
COMMENCEMENT PROGRAM BOOK: Students who are requesting to 'walk early' (graduates for next Fall 24) will not be in the Commencement Program Book but will be in the following year's book since that will accurately reflect one's graduation year.
CEREMONY TICKETS: Tickets will be distributed online to all eligible graduates first and will have a ticketing window that will last two to three weeks. Once the ticketing window closes for all general graduates, we will be able to award tickets to those who are approved in their appeal to participate. The amount of tickets will be based on the amount available at the time of your approval.
*Appeals will only be accepted until May 8th, 2024.
