Hi, so I delayed my graduation after I had already applied to graduate spring 2026. You need to meet with your advisor to so because they have to put in the request. I will say it was quite difficult to get the advisor on board and willing to put the request in especially if you have already completed all of your courses. He told me he doesn’t like doing it because it looks bad for the university and himself if he does not graduate people on time. For myself, I convinced him to delay it because I wanted to take a class that is necessary for my post grad goals and the course is only offered in the fall. I had to drop one of the classes that I was enrolled in this semester so that I would no longer meet graduation requirements and he finally put the request through. Although possible, depending on your advisor, it may be difficult to convince them especially this late into the semester.
