Admission for Degree

Students should complete their application for degree with their advisor upon completion of 21 credit hours of acceptable graduate work or in the semester prior to graduation (whichever comes first). When signed and approved by the director of the respective program and submitted to the registrar, this form constitutes a formal admission to candidacy and application for degree. The deadlines for submitting this form to the Registrar’s Office are the previous March 1 for December graduation, and the previous Oct. 31 for May or August graduation. Special attention should be given to each degree program to ensure that all degree completion requirements are met.
