New Graduation Application Deadlines
听
The Office of Graduate Studies has established the following annual deadlines for all Masters and Doctoral students applying for their degree and diploma per a request of the Vice-Provost's office.听 The new annual deadlines are as followed:
Graduate students who intend to graduate in the Fall semester:听September 1st
Graduate students who intend to graduate in the Spring or Summer semester:听February听1st
In other words, all graduate students must file an听application for their degree and diploma听(along with a $47 processing fee to A&R) in the听beginning of the听semester听they intend to graduate, by the deadlines above. 听This time is needed because Graduate Studies has only a few people to evaluate all of the transcripts and records of well over a thousand potentially graduating students (to verify that all program requirements have been met and to help students complete any unmet requirements).听 View .
If graduate students discover at some later date that they cannot graduate when they had expected (not unusual, as you know), then they need to file a Degree and Diploma Date Change form (and an $8 processing fee) as soon as they are able. They also need to change the date in the ETD system prior to that semester鈥檚 ETD planning form deadline.听 View听
