Degree Conferral
Johns Hopkins University confers degrees at the conclusion of its summer, fall, and spring terms. The conferral date is your official date of graduation, which is displayed on your diploma. Please see the Academic Calendar for the conferral date of your graduating term.
The degree conferral application is a required step where a student notifies Johns Hopkins University that they intend to graduate. All students will apply for their degree using the online application.
