How to Participate: Student Checklist
Before you register for the Certificate Graduation Ceremony, please make sure you complete the following.
Step 1: Confirm Graduation Eligibility
Are you unsure if you are on track to complete your certificate requirements before September 2025?
You may use the My Certificates and Specializations link on your Student Portal to help you monitor your academic progress.
Your Academic Advisor or Program Representative can also help guide you to confirm that you are on track to complete your total certificate requirements. For a list of program representatives, visit the Contact UCLA Extension page and select from the Academic Program Departments drop-down.
If you are an international student, please make an appointment to meet with the International Student Services office for questions about your F-1 visa, CPT, and OPT requirements.
Step 2: Register to Participate
Once you have confirmed that you are eligible to participate, please register to participate in the Certificate Graduation Ceremony.
Please note that you will be requesting tickets for yourself AND your guests. To allow all of our graduates to share this moment with their loved ones, please only request the number of complimentary guest tickets you know you will need. Each graduate can claim up to twelve (12) complimentary guest tickets.
Registration opens on April 1, 2025.
