A Graduation Requirement Check, also known as Grad Check, is required for all students in order to graduate and participate in the Commencement ceremony.
Undergraduate Students
A University Initiated Graduation Check (UIGC) will be filed on behalf of undergraduate/bachelor degree students based on remaining units/degree requirements. Students are emailed to log into Student Center to respond to the UIGC popup message to accept the term, appeal for a different term, or skip the message. There will be two weeks respond to accept or appeal. After two weeks, the Grad Check will automatically be filed for the term indicated and the Grad Check fee will be applied to the account.
For students needing to change the graduation term/refile, contact Academic Advising at advising@csusb.edu with the following information:
- Email Subject: Refile Grad Check
- Preferred Name

Postbaccalaureate Students
Postbaccalaureate/second bachelors/master degree students must file a Graduation Requirement Check "Grad Check". Master degree students must have Advancement to Candidacy before applying for a grad check. Grad Checks should be requested at least one semester prior to the expected graduation term.

Students who do not complete their requirements in the term for which the grad check was filed must have their graduation term updated. Please review your degree requirements with your coordinator to verify that an updated term is necessary. A refile can be requested online.

PLEASE NOTE: The Grad Check fee may be combined with tuition in your Student Center. If the Grad Check was filed and then tuition and fees were paid in full (via financial aid or out of pocket), it is possible that the Grad Check was also paid. To verify if the Grad Check was paid, please contact Student Financial Services.
