DEADLINES
(Please Read Text Below Table)

NOTE: Both the Intent to Graduate Form and candidacy form must be submitted to the appropriate offices by the specified deadlines. Candidacy forms received by the College Director of Graduate Studies after the stated deadline will not be approved or forwarded to the Graduate School for processing; therefore, we strongly recommended that you submit the candidacy form to your department chair at least one week prior to the college directors' deadline.

Students will be certified for graduation only when all requirements are met, including the removal of all "I" or "IP" grades from previous semesters and the successful completion of comprehensive examination requirements.

If a student earns an "I" or "IP" grade in any coursework listed on the candidacy form, your degree will not be awarded. Students will be notified of their disqualification. It will be your responsibility to file a new Intent to Graduate Form for the semester in which all degree requirements will be completed.

Please notify the Graduate School Academic Advisor if you officially change your name or submit an address change with the Registrar's Office.
