Intent to Graduate To graduate, whether or not you plan to attend commencement, you must submit an “Intent to Graduate” form and pay any applicable fees. An Intent to Graduate form is available at cedarville.edu/gradintent . After you return your intent form to the registrar, your transcript will be audited to verify completion of degree requirements. You are encouraged to indicate your intent to graduate at least one semester in advance so that you can be informed of any problems in meeting your degree requirements.
