In addition to completing all program requirements, you must complete the following forms:
- CEHD Application for M.Ed. Degree and/or Certificate
- Final program form [.pdf] approved by a faculty adviser
Student Services clears degrees for graduation on a monthly basis.

Students who submit forms to Student Services after the first day of the month will be cleared to graduate at the end of the following month.
Notes: Students have seven years to complete their degree, beginning with the first coursework used in the program, and must maintain a 2.80 overall GPA.
