Apply to Graduate

Applying to graduate is as simple as going online to myGate and going through the listed procedures. 

Organize your Portfolio

Up until the end of your graduate career, you should be keeping careful track of all of your papers and projects. The work you do as part of your coursework make up your final portfolio--a requirement for graduation and a mandatory part of the exit exam. Details about the format and submission of your portfolio are available during TSL 690 (final portfolio). Detailed information about the Portfolio and Exit Exam can be found here.

A slide show with additional information about online portfolio submission can be found here.
