Graduation Checklist

The following is a general list of items (OGS does not imply that this is everything a student needs to do) that will need to be completed in order to graduate. Please refer to the current Graduate Catalog for issues related to your specific degree.

1. Apply for graduation by the deadline at degreeapp.tamu.edu. A late fee of $50.00 will be assessed to students who apply for graduation after the deadline.
   
2. Please order your regalia by the deadline from the MSC Bookstore or on-line at http://www.herff-jones.com/college/index.cfm?at=3&con=3 . Don’t forget to order the hood that represents your degree.(MS: golden yellow; MEN: orange; PhD: dark blue) You will receive regalia ordering information by email from the Office of Graduate Studies after you have completed the application for graduation. You may also contact the MSC bookstore at 979-845-8681 with regalia questions.
3. Familiarize yourself with the Office of Graduate Studies deadline calendar and meet all deadlines.
   
4. Run a degree audit on myrecord.tamu.edu. Discuss any concerns with your departmental graduate advisor.
   
5. Finalize your degree plan. Submit any petitions needed to correct deficiencies. Incomplete grades which have been converted to "F" must be changed to a letter grade or back to an incomplete.
   
6. Schedule your final oral exam (or request exemption, if applicable) by deadline posted on Office of Graduate Studies deadline calendar.
   
7. Submit thesis or dissertation to the thesis office (if applicable) by the deadline posted on Office of Graduate Studies deadline calendar.
