Graduate Students are strongly encouraged to plan ahead and apply for graduation in the semester of the actual thesis or dissertation defense date. Now that you've projected the date, you should apply for graduation. Please submit an electronic copy of your defense document to the Graduate Coordinator along with a properly formatted abstract for the required public announcement of your defense meeting (see the Graduate Student Manual for directions on how to format the abstract for the public announcement).

In fact, all forms and/or documents requiring the Chair's signature should be routed through our office. We'll coordinate obtaining the Chair's signature and route further if needed (e.g., to Toulouse, Registrar, etc).

As always, if you are unclear on any of the steps, we are here to help guide you through the process. Stop by TH316 and we'll walk you through the process.

SPRING 2024/SUMMER 2024 GRADUATION DEADLINES

Special Notes:

The Continuous Enrollment policy of the Toulouse Graduate School requires that once enrollment has begun students must maintain continuous enrollment in a minimum of 3 semester hours of thesis/dissertation during each fall and spring term/semester, up to and including the term/semester the thesis/dissertation is accepted by the dean of the Toulouse Graduate School. The requirement to enroll does not end with the defense. Students must continue to enroll until the paper is submitted to the graduate school. If you will be using university facilities or faculty time during the summer, or defend your thesis/dissertation, or submit your defended paper to the graduate school in the summer, you must be enrolled in thesis/dissertation during that summer.

Internships constitute a full year of work. Please be aware that the start/end dates of the internship may impact your official graduation date from UNT.
