Degree Completion

Step #1: Submit Program Plan Form to your faculty adviser for approval

• • • Program Plan Forms can be found above for each degree and should be submitted in the first month of your last semester of coursework.

    • Submit all requests for transfer credit to your advisor as early as possible

Step #2: Complete the Application for Degree in MyU

• • • Do this before the 1st of the month you wish to graduate

    • MyU>Academics tab>Degree Progress> Click on "Apply to Graduate" link

Important! Maintain continuous enrollment: If you've already completed your coursework and the term has ended, you'll need to register for GRAD 999 in order to keep your enrollment active as the University can only clear a degree in an active student status. Use GRAD 999 also if you plan to take a semester off.  Please note that students can use a GRAD 999 registration up to two times.

Note: Directions on the Graduate School's website for M.Ed. degree completion refer to submitting a GPAS Planner however Curriculum and Instruction does not use that tool. The process outlined above is what you should refer to when planning to graduate.
