Graduating and degree clearance
Clearing your degree for graduation should be done at least one full month
before completion of final coursework. Degrees are cleared to graduate
on a monthly basis. To allow for sufficient time for processing,
students are encouraged to submit their form for graduation three months
before the desired degree completion date. There are three things that a student needs to do to clear his or her
degree for graduation.
- Complete all program requirements.
- Submit Program Plan form.
Obtain a Program
Plan form and list the courses you have taken for your
degree completion. You may use the green form you received at
orientation or print the 2-page PDF file linked above and fill it
out. When you’ve completed the form, sign it and obtain the
signatures of your adviser and the program head.
- Apply to graduate.
Complete the
Application
for Degree form, which can be obtained online or by contacting
Student Services at 110 Wulling Hall, 86
Pleasant St., Minneapolis, MN 55455, 612-625-6501.
Submit the completed Application
for Degree along with your completed Program Plan form
(with all signatures) to the Student Services office. Signatures on the
Program Plan must be original—do not submit a photocopy of the
document. If any of your coursework for graduation is transferred
from other institutions, you must submit petitions and official
transcripts along with the degree application and Program Plan.
Any changes made to your program after filing the Program Plan
in the Student Services office must be submitted to Student Services via the
Petition for Students in Undergraduate and Professional Programs
form.
